Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the unattended-upgrades source package.
This review will last from Thursday, November 27, 2008 to Sunday, November 30, 2008.
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.

Shorten the short description so that it remains short..:-)
The trick of using the infinitive form in such case is fairly common
Unpersonnalize the template: the system is not necessarily "mine"
