Here are some questions/proposal in addition to the patch.
dtc's maintainer: there are also some questions for you.

Another style question: shall we use "you're" or "you are"?

"an .htpasswd" or "a .htpasswd"?

Maybe:
Please select the MTA that will be used with DTC.
Maybe we can recommend installing a mail-transport-agent package instead
of a MTA?

I still have the same issue with this one.
This may be related to my inexperience with Cyrus. Is Cyrus an MTA?
dtc maintainer: What is the meaning of "imap and MTA"?
Is cyrus an IMAP server and an MTA?

This one looks strange.
Here is another en_FR attempt:
DTC can configure Apache to use one of your IP addresses. If the server is
firewalled with NAT and port redirections of public IP(s) address(es), a
"NATed" vhost configuration can be generated.
...
I'm not sure about the last paragraph.
I'm not sure neither about the plural form of "IP address" (I'm talking
about the '(s)' after IP)

dtc maintainer:
Are there multiple vhosts?
If we can enter multiple IPs, what's the separator?

Maybe "SSL certificate" of just "certificate" instead of
"OpenSSL certificate".

dtc maintainer:
What is this challenge password? There was already a "DTC certificate
passphrase:" template.
Given the wording, it looks like a certificate request's challenge
password.

dtc maintainer:
Is there a Debian package?
Wouldn't it be better to drop this template and replace it with a
dependency?

I agree with MJ that it would be better not to promote DNSBL (i.e. I would
prefer a blank default). But it's up to the maintainer.

double stop, also I think we are talking about sending stats (not collect
them)
...mandatory to report the statistics.
