Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the courier source package. This review will last from Monday, October 22, 2007 to Thursday, November 01, 2007. 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, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag.
