Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the astk source package.
This review will last from Saturday, May 22, 2010 to Tuesday, June 01, 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.

Avoid leading lowercase.
Avoid "This is" that creates a link between the synopsis and the long
description.
Avoid non-existing domains as example. I actually don't think it is
really needed to give an example. If we really need to, then use "example.org".
