Let's try to see if adopting the conventions used in some l10n teams would work here. I'm currently working on the grub2 package to make it use gettext for its debconf templates. This is indeed the perfect moment for doing some proofreading of the templates. Please find attached the templates file. Contrary to the mail subject, this is *not* a PO file....but I'm currently imagining us to use the same tools for English reviews than those we used in the l10n teams. I would appreciate if reviews include unified diffs which would make the changes easier to apply. --
Template: grub2/numbering_scheme_transition Type: error _Description: GRUB 1.95 numbering scheme transition As of version 1.95, GRUB 2 has changed its numbering scheme. Partitions are now counted starting from 1 rather than 0. This is consistent with device names of Linux and the other kernels used in Debian. For example, when using Linux as the kernel, "(hd0,1)" refers to the same partition as the /dev/sda1 device node. . Because of this, there's a chance your system becomes unbootable if update-grub(8) is run before GRUB is updated, generating a grub.cfg file that your installed GRUB won't yet be able to parse correctly. To ensure the your system will be able to boot, you have to: . - Reinstall GRUB (typically, by running grub-install). - Rerun update-grub to generate a new grub.cfg.
