Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the rinputd source package.
This review will last from Thursday, May 06, 2010 to Sunday, May 16, 2010.
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.

This template is debconf abuse. It should be dropped entirely. There's
no point in warning users that they'll be prompted.

Synopsis may appear isolated (without the long description). So
"Username:" is too scarce.

Turn the template into "error" type, which most interfaces render in a
different way. It does make the "error" mention pointless.
Also add explanations about why things are invalid..:)
