That's indeed forgetting that "Thou Shalt Not Make Reference To
Debconf Widgets".

Indedd something like "answering 'yes'" is not something that should
be used

That should be along the lines of "Choosing this option here will
leave NVRAM untouched"

However, I'm not sure that this is the right choice.

I'd prefer the question to be "Add GRUB to firmware NVRAM
configuration?" 

_Description: Add GRUB to firmware NVRAM configuration?
 By default, GRUB will be registered into NVRAM on platforms where this is
 required, such as UEFI Boot Manager or OpenFirmware boot devices.
 .
 Occasionally this is not desired (for instance on systems that PXE boot
 and then chainload). If you do not choose this option, the NVRAM will
 be left untouched.

(eventually arrange the tenses as the above if likely to be Frenglish
wrt to tenses)
