Package: virtualbox-ext-pack
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n patch

The recently uploaded version of this package intruduced 20
translatable strings for the debconf template that displays the license.

Apart from discussin whether using debconf to make users accept
licenses is both a good idea and valid (which I don't think it is),
the license terms shouldn't be marked for translation.

The attached patch does this by marking the template synopsis to be
the only translatable string.
