Package: debian-installer Severity: minor I think it's a bit weird the way boolean queries are represented in the graphical installer. Normaly, when a program displays a checkbox, an indicative sentence follows, e.g. "Do this.", but the d-i gui chose to use checkboxes for a field that contains a question instead, basicaly looking like this: [x] Do this? (see attached screenshot) I think this looks inconsistent, because it doesn't follow the de-facto standard about checkboxes, where you never see a question following a checkbox. One would rather expect something like: [x] Do this. Since that would require changing the debconf template, which could be considered inappropiate, I suggest: Do this. [x] (with indentation so that multiboolean queries can be made) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-amd64 Locale: LANG=ca_AD.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ca_AD.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to ca_AD.UTF-8)
