Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the unixcw source package.
These include Justin's comments....
This review will last from Sunday, December 25, 2011 to Wednesday, January 04, 2012.
Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original
files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated.
Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail.
When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with
"[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag.
When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For
Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag.
Finally, a summary will be sent to the review bug report,
and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag.

-_Description: Make cw setuid root?
- cw can produce sounds using console buzzer, but this feature
- is available only if cw is run by root user.
- You can achieve this by setting setuid bit here (not recommended)
- or by running cw with sudo (also not recommended). You can also
- use soundcard output instead of console buzzer output and
- eliminate this problem completely.
+_Description: Run cw with root privileges?
+ If run with elevated privileges (which is not recommended), cw can
+ produce sounds using the console buzzer.
+ .
+ Please choose whether this should be achieved by giving the
+ executable the "setuid" attribute.
+ .
+ Alternative include running the program with sudo or eliminating this
+ issue completely by using output via a soundcard instead of the
+ buzzer.

- console buzzer or sound card.
- * cwgen - program that generates groups of random
- characters for Morse code practice, that can be
