Most words in headings/titles should be capitalised (in the style of
the msgids in Bug 442216), but I don't think the prompts are headings.
debconf gurus may know more than me.
I'm not aware of anyone much debating capitalising headings - style
guides seem fairly consistent on this - so can someone post links?

Slash denotes alternative starts of the phrase, so I'd go with
"Workgroup/Domain name:" in that case. (A third way! I'm channeling
Blair! Coming next: regime change.)
