#sl2 markers give the "sublevel" where the strings will go. Sublevels

Here, these templates belong to sublevel 3 as they won't probably be
shown in default installs (they should be priority medium or low).

Here, I have to admit that I have absolutely no clue about *what*
should really be in the template (because I don't really understand
what's the purpose of the patch) but the wording definitely needs a
lot of improvement.
First, anyway, "string" templates can't use a question as synopsis.
You seem to expect users to enter something there, so you should
*prompt* them for this:
_Description: netrc-style entry:
Please enter here....blah blah blah (explain what is expected there
and avoid jargon).
.
For instance:
machine packages.server.org login myuser password mypass
(note the double space meant to guarantee that the last line is
hard(formatted.
