Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the uw-imap source package.
This review will last from Thursday, September 27, 2007 to Sunday, October 07, 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.

Complete rewrite.
I think the original templates were using an inappropriate
wording. Saying that what's happening is "confusing" is the best way
to scare users.
Also, all this is too long and does not fit on one screen. Therefore,
I shortened it down....a *lot*.
I introduce an introductory sentence which is common with debconf
templates and makes them look less weird with some interfaces.
Template: ipopd/force_debconf_choice
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Enforce port selection?
- The ipopd daemon supports listening on several ports simultaneously.
- A default choice of ports is provided, which you can adjust.
- .
- Confusingly, the choice of ports made with this package may have been

Again, complete rewording to avoid the originally very complicated ay
to explain things.

Ditto. I'm not entirely convinced that this belongs to the package's
