Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-13
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The attached patch attempts to rewrite the debconf templates for the package
in order to use a writing style which is closer to other packages. It also
applies a few style changes as recommended in the relevant section of the
Developer's Reference.
If you apply, entirely or partly, this patch, I suggest running
debconf-updatepo immediately after and use to podebconf-report-po utility to
warn translators about needed updates.
I found this while I was about to update the French translation so please
keep me posted if, for some reason, you prefer not changing anything..:)
PS: the most important change IMHO is the rewrite of the enumeration list to
a hard-formatted list...which will save space on the relevant screen. and
make it easier for translators to fit in a 80x25 terminal when using dialog
as the debconf interface.
