Not necessarily. If cdebconf-gtk-terminal has not been put on the
initrd, then the package won't be available until anna is configured.
But there is no need to explicitely select the module in anna, as
start-shell does it automatically by using anna-install.

I see one: they are not displayed in the same context. The last string
you mention are in a menu (hence they are "actions"). The template is
displayed as a title, right above the terminal window. I think the
later ought to be more a description of the current status.
(But please excuse my english here… and I already have a hard time using
meta-language in french.)
