Hi, some feedback.

Regarding the debconf templates: I'll very likely just use what the
outcome of that discussion here, so qui tacet ... oops, you don't like
Latin :-)

Regarding the description ...

Oh boy, forgot that one. It was very ... insightful as it tought me a
lot about Debian, why so many people are annoyed, or even want to fork
the project.

So, just ignore it, this needs a full rewrite. As the description
provided by upstream at <http://ngircd.barton.de/> is not suitable
IMHO, I'll discuss it with the author first.

Your proposed description is not acceptable in several ways.
