Template: base-config/intro
Type: note
_Description: Welcome to your new Debian system!
 This program will now walk you through the process of setting up your
 newly installed system. It will start with the basics -- time zone
 selection, setting a root password and adding a user, and then progress to
 installing additional software to tune this new Debian system to your
 needs.
The second sentence is a bit of a run-on.  How about this:

This program will now walk you through the process of setting up your
newly installed system. It will start with the basics: time zone selection, setting a root password, and adding a user. Then it will progress to installing additional software to tune your new Debian system to your needs.

Template: base-config/use-ppp
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Use a PPP connection to install the system?
 This system does not seem to be currently connected to the internet.
 Even if you plan to install from CD, it is wise to download at least
 security updates from the internet.
 .
 If you have an account on an Internet Services Provider (ISP), and
                                         ^^^^^^^^
Should be singular: Internet Service Provider.

 you want to use it during the install, you may configure the PPP
 service now, and open a PPP connection to your ISP.

Template: base-config/pkgsel
Type: select
Choices: ${choices}
_Description: Software selection method:

Perhaps "your computer" or "this computer" instead of "the computer"?
 for your particular needs. The following methods are available to select
 software to install.


Template: base-config/menu/pon
Type: text
_Description: Configure and enable ppp
PPP should be capitalized; it's an acronym.

The rest of debian/templates, as well as apt-setup.templates and tzsetup.templates, looks good.
