I think there are problems other than language in many templates too.
For example, questions without context, and questions that shouldn't be
asked at all.
In the above case, imagine that apt has just downloaded a ton of
packages and starts preconfiguration; a message pops up to say
Username
To successfully connect, you must have a valid username. This is
the same as the handle you use to log into the website.

It's hard to know what context the question is in; what is it asking the
username for? I think some mention of aiccu and why it requires your
credentials should be included before/with the first question.

Select the tunnel broker you wish to use.
I would prefer "wish to use" but I don't know that there is a strong
argument for it.

"you must select which tunnel to activate".

No tunnel brokers could be retrieved from DNS (_aiccu + _aiccu.sixxs.net);
this most likely indicates a DNS configuration problem.
