There have been no complains, so I'm asking debian-l10n-english for a string review of the attached strings now (in CC), and will push the result then soon. (Please note, that I have NOT marked the new strings to be translatable that late in the bullseye cycle, so they will remain in English at least for Bullseye r0). I have overworked the strings a bit to be less technical, and better under- standable for users.
