You're right. I was wondering about that and was lazy checking this
myself...then forgot..:-)

I slightly reformulated the template to take into account that it is
shown during package purge. See attached file (which also incorporates
last suggestions by David and Justin).

I suggest you followup in this bug report. No need to CC me (I'm
subscribed to hoteldruid PTS) but please CC debian-l10n-english.

Well, if I can insist, I'm sure that using gettext would bring a *lot*
to localization because it's the de facto standard for localization
and because PO files are much more maintainable than simple flat text
files over time. I think it does balance the extra hassle of users
needing the needed PHP library (at least on environments where HD can
be packaged this is not really a problem, more an extra dependency).


Template: hoteldruid/configure-apache
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Automatically configure the Apache web server for HotelDruid?
 HotelDruid runs on any web server supporting PHP, but automatic
 configuration can only be performed for Apache.

 Please choose whether automatic configuration should be performed now.

Template: hoteldruid/restrict-localhost
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Restrict HotelDruid access to localhost?
 The Apache web server can be configured to forbid HotelDruid
 connections from other machines.
 .
 It is recommended to activate this setting if HotelDruid is
 going to be used from this machine.
 .
 Additional access control can be enabled by setting the
 HotelDruid administrator password from the "users management"
 page. User logins will then become mandatory.

Template: hoteldruid/restart-webserver
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Restart the web server after HotelDruid configuration?
 In order to activate the new configuration for HotelDruid,
 the web server has to be restarted.

Template: hoteldruid/purgedata
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Purge HotelDuid data when purging the package?
 The hoteldruid package is about to be removed from this system.
 .
 HotelDruid stores its data in "/var/lib/hoteldruid".
 If you choose this option, these data files will be erased now.
 .
 Refuse this option if there is operational information which should be
 kept after HotelDruid is removed.
