What's the difference between "ongoing" and "not finished"?

It needn't be a full sentence - just describe the required input:

  _Description: HTML message to show during setup of Bugzilla:

or adding a long description:

  _Description: Bugzilla downtime message:
   Please enter the HTML downtime message that should be displayed
   while Bugzilla is being reconfigured.

Is your debconf note really necessary?  The normal recommendation is
to put this sort of thing in the README.Debian if at all possible...
or if it's a consequence of a choice in some other debconf template
then it should probably be explained there.

Mention the problem before the solution.  This doesn't make it clear
whether Bugzilla's entire content is inaccessible or only the admin
interface - I'm assuming the former.

Does dpkg-reconfigure itself call checksetup.pl?  If so, given that
the .pl in question is in fact a shell wrapper around the real Perl
configurator, I'm reluctant to "hard-code" the name:

  _Description: Bugzilla offline
   Bugzilla has the "shutdownhtml" configuration parameter set, putting
   it offline (with logins disabled) until configured.
   .
   To set up Bugzilla, run "dpkg-reconfigure bugzilla3" (as root) and
   choose "dbconfig-config".

("-p low" is the default for manually-invoked dpkg-reconfigure.)

Except that I don't see anything in the current templates that
mentions dbconfig.  What is it trying to say I should choose, and
why?
