Ok.
I'm ccing debian-l10n-english@lists.debian.org to have their review.
Here's the updated string that I'm now proposing based on the early
feedback:
_Description: Updates management on this system:
Applying updates on a frequent basis is an important part of keeping the
system secure.
.
By default, security updates are not automatically installed as security
advisories should be reviewed before installation of the updates using
standard package management tools.
.
Alternatively the unattended-upgrades package can be installed, it will
install security updates automatically. Note however that automatic
installation of updates may occasionally cause unexpected downtime of
services provided by this machine in the rare cases where the update is
not fully backwards compatible or when the security advisory requires the
administrator to perform some other manual operation.
Cheers,
