Yeah, that's the reason why I'm only checking for capitalization in the
description (and in some doc-base files) and not anywhere else. The risk
of false positives is a lot higher for capitalization.
It may still be worthwhile to check for spelling errors in debconf
templates, since those are more conservative, but I'm particularly leery
of false positives on spelling checks; they're notoriously annoying.
