No, not everybody agrees, but everyone who disagrees with me is wrong. :)Hence I guess Anthony DeRobertis qualifies as being wrong... ;-)
That settles it. He's definitely "Brandon" now. My spell-checker even thinks he's spelled right, as an added benefit.
One may try to have this ruled through a general resolution, but that would be somewhat overkill... ;-)
Best bet would probably be to have the debconf maintainer come up with a standard for representing "end of sentence" and have the front-ends display it as best they can.
I could be wrong, but it's worth checking. As I understand it, everything in /usr but not in /usr/local is pretty much "OS packages only" land, according to the FHS.I found no reference to such a rule; only "Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere." but that's not really relevant...
See FHS 4.9.1.
