Please find, for review, the debconf templates of halevt.
This review will last from Friday, August 06, 2010 to Monday, August 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 is a total rewrite. Aim - explain what the plugdev group actually is,
why it's needed and that it can be changed later.
