Justin and MJ probably have better wording suggestions than I would have so I'll keep mine as general suggestion with one goal: *shorten this down*. Too long debconf templates raise a few concerns for me: - being long, they're likely to not be read entirely...:) - they are likely to be split on two screens on 80x25 terminals - their translations are even more likely to be too long for such terminals > Template: libpam0g/restart-services > Type: string > _Description: Services to restart for PAM library upgrade: > Most PAM-using services that are running at the time of upgrade must be "that are currently running" would be shorter (probably a little bit less precise but that doesn't matter that much) > restarted before they can use PAM modules built against this new version > of libpam. "they can use the new PAM modules" could be enough..... > . > Please check the following list of services detected for restart and > correct it if needed.

"space-separated list of services (named after their init script)" I'd drop the sentence about an empty string not restarting anything: that should be obvious to anyone. > . > Among the services that require restarting are the display managers kdm, > wdm, and xdm.

Maybe something like "Some other services such as ...... cannot be restarted automatically and will nee you to restart them manually" > > Template: libpam0g/restart-failed > Type: error > _Description: Failure restarting some services for PAM upgrade > The following services could not be restarted for the PAM library upgrade: > . > ${services} > . > You will need to start these manually by running > '/etc/init.d/<service> start'. Fine by me. I suggest adding: #flag:translate!:3 to avoid ${services} to be translatable (and likely to be translated...:-)) --
