Of course, lintian will warn you about this.....but that would be an exception for the time you settle the debconf stuff. If you think that a template will go away soon, then of course the best is to not mark it for translation. If you just think its wording might change (for instance by adding a new choice or somethign like this), then going through the review phase does not hurt. > > wouldn't it be good to "fix" the templates for the few very obvious > > things we could: > > > > - avoid interrogative form in synopsis for ia32-apt-get/allowed-packages > > - shorten the enumeration in that template to avoid multi-paragraph > > that wastes space > > Suggestions what to remove? Not necessarily remove but not using a paragraph for each list item already makes things much shorter. Also see Justin's suggestions whch are always very clever. --
