Bleh. Yet another debconf note interrupting installs. Well, OK, that seems unavoidable for these stupid license issues. As a special recommendation, I suggest *not* making this translatable. There is no point in translating a license. For this, do not prepend "Description" with an underscore in the templates file. Or, even better, just make the note's title translatable but not the license text. The suggestions below may help you fine tuning this. More particularly, if you intend adding *another* note such as a boolean note saying something like "Do you agree with that stupid license and continue installating the package", I suggest: - asking for a review on debian-l10n-english. Do it by mailing the list and attaching the original debian/<whatever>.templates file - once the review settled for a final text, send a call for translations *before* uploading with a reasonable delay for us (translators) to do our work. I'll indicate you how to do this in the review process (basically, this involves using the "podebconf-report-po" tool)
