Please, make this warning much, much stronger. If mbr is installed at
all, their system will become unusable if they do not say yes at this
point.

So, if the user does select 'yes' for installing "mbr", please tell
them that if they say "no" at this point, they will be rendering
their system pretty much unbootable (unless they can figure out
the cryptic MBR prompts.)

Either that, or tell the truth at this point:

"At this point, the Debian installer must mark one of your partitions
as 'bootable' so that the MBR tool you selected to install can know
which partition to boot by default."
