They're the DBA and DAV users, but apparently their usernames are
lowercase... so say
Two users ("dba" and "dav") are created by default [...]

It's either the user "dba" or the DBA user (just as it's "the file
README.foo" when you're introducing its name but "the README file"
where you're identifying the file by its well-known name.) Here I'd
go for:

This time,
It is recommended to check the passwords for the users "dba" and "dav"
immediately after installation.

Wait... I see what the word "default" is doing in this sentence, but
it seems to have spread to the rest of the template (and the last
one) where it doesn't fit. I'm not setting the _default_ port -
surely I'm setting the _only_ port it's allowed to use, until and
unless I reconfigure this configuration value?
So cut the word "[Dd]efault" all through the rest of the
http-server-port and db-server-port templates.

Eliminate want. "Choose this option"?
Modifying this default value can improve security on servers that
might be targets for unauthorized intrusion.

Given that the system may be a corporate asset, make that:
An ODBC manager (unixodbc or iODBC) is already installed on this system,
and the Virtuoso ODBC driver is installed.

Debconf isn't powered by wishes.
The default Virtuoso instance can be automatically added to the list of
available System Data Sources (and automatically deleted from the list
when this package is removed).

^,
Add a comma ("linked to by the default names, for the benefit of
init scripts", not "linked to by the default names _of_ the init
scripts").
Sounds like a job for /etc/alternatives, but I can see it might be
messy.

To match virtuoso-opensource-6.1/register-odbc-dsn:
_Description: Register the Virtuoso ODBC driver?
An ODBC manager (unixodbc or iODBC) is already installed on this system.
.
The Virtuoso ODBC driver can be automatically added to the list of
available ODBC drivers (and automatically deleted from the list when
this package is removed).
