Attached is what I come up with, after the initial discussion with Ian. Given that this discussion was quite long, I'm not sure that what's on my hard disk currently reflects a consensus between the dle team and Ian. Both have given their arguments about various changes and I actually need to know what changes would be acceptable for the package maitnainer and what aren't (these would then be reverted). Is it possible to comment chunk by chunk? It is particularly important to converge on wording for debconf templates as this review is meant to be followed by a round of translation and these have to be done on a text that is not meant to change.
