These "buttons" are standard to the interface and cannot be changed on
some screen, so changing their wording wouldn't make sense.

What I only see is adding something in the text itself, explaining
what will happen when choosing this or that option but this is indeed
against all our writing rules which should not refer to the interface
(which may vary from the graphical version of the installer to a
text-only version, without even dialog boxes).
