Dear Maintainer,
the German translation contains a typo when the Debian installer asks for a
password.
English:
> Some account needs to be available with administrative super-user privileges.
> The password for that account should be something that cannot be guessed.
German:
> Ein Benutzerkonto mit administrativen Super-User-Privilegien ist
> erforderlich. Sie sollten für dieses Konto ein Passwort wählen, dass andere
> nicht erraten können.
Should be:
> Ein Benutzerkonto mit administrativen Super-User-Privilegien ist
> erforderlich. Sie sollten für dieses Konto ein Passwort wählen, das andere
> nicht erraten können.
Since "that" refers to "something" and not the complete sentence, this version
should be used.
