The adjtimex package introduced new or modified debconf templates. This is the perfect moment for a review to help the package maintainer following the general suggested writing style and track down typos and errors in the use of English language. If someone wants to pick up this review, please answer to this mail, in the mailing list, with an [ITR] (Intent To Review) label. The templates file is attached. To propose the file you reviewed for peer review, please send a [RFR] (Request For Review) mail with the reviewed file attached...then a few days later, when no more contributions come, a summary mail with a [LCFC] (Last Chance For Comments) label. Finally, after no more comments coming to the LCFC mail, you can send the reviewed templates file as a bug report against the package. Then, please notify the list with a last mail using a [BTS] label with the bug number. Helping the package maintainer to deal with induced translation updates at that moment will be nice. If you're not comfortable with that part of the process, please hand it off to a translator. --
Template: adjtimex/run_daemon Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Should adjtimex be run at installation and at every startup? adjtimex can run at system startup to set the kernel time parameters to the values in /etc/default/adjtimex. Don't accept if you just want to use adjtimex to inspect the current parameters. Template: adjtimex/compare_rtc Type: boolean Default: true _Description: Should adjtimexconfig be run when adjtimex is installed or upgraded? The adjtimexconfig script will use adjtimex to find values for the kernel variables tick and frequency that will make the system clock approximately agree with the hardware clock (also known as the CMOS clock). It then saves these values in the configuration file /etc/default/adjtimex so the settings will be restored on every boot, when /etc/init.d/adjtimex runs. . The script takes 70 sec to run. Alternatively, you can run adjtimexconfig yourself at a later time, or determine the kernel variables one of several other ways (see the adjtimex man page) and install them in /etc/default/adjtimex.

Description: Utility to display or set the kernel time variables
This program gives you raw access to the kernel time variables. For
a machine connected to the Internet, or equipped with a precision
oscillator or radio clock, the best way to keep the system clock
correct is with ntpd. However, for a standalone or intermittently
connected machine, you may use adjtimex instead to at least correct
for systematic drift. adjtimex can optionally adjust the system
clock using the CMOS clock as a reference, and can log times for
long-term estimation of drift rates.
