Source: hw-detect Severity: minor Tags: patch Dear maintainers,
hw-detect/debian/hw-detect.templates [1] lists hw-detect/firmware-lookup as Type: text but it should instead be Type: string This means that hw-detect/firmware-lookup is absent from the complete list of debian preseeds [2] because the script [3] that generates those lists handles "Type: string" and not "Type: text". Trivial patch attached.
