Package: partman
Severity: normal

There are a lot of duplicated templates in partman. For example, the
*/check_failed, */create_failed, */no_mount_mount, vary only in the filesystem
type, so it could be a substitution. */mountpoint, *bad_mountpoint,
*/specify_mountpoint, */no_mountpoint, etc. Really only the names of the
filesystems vary. This creates extra work for translators, and ends up
using a lot of disk space/memory.

I do think it's good to be able to vary these templates for special
filesystems that need different ones. What I think would be good would
be to have a stock set of templates. Plugins that need their own
templates could then add them, and the code that displays the messages
would first try to use the templates provided by the plugins, but if
they were unavailable, would fall back to the stock templates.

This has been fixed in the meantime (long ago)
