Hi,

Most of your templates do not follow the developers-reference (see
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices.en.html#s-bpp-config-mgmt
for further details).

Here are my comments, a full patch is attached.


>-Description: This is an internal template. No need for translation.
>+Description: for internal use

Lintian does not check templates which have the string "for internal
use".

> Template: am-utils/import-amd-conf
> Type: boolean
>-_Description: Import old amd configuration ?
>+_Description: Import old amd configuration?

Typographical mistake.

>- You seem to have amd configuration files available (the "amd" package is
>- the precursor to am-utils).
>+ Amd configuration files seems to be available on this system (the "amd"
>+ package is the precursor to am-utils).

Suggested rephrasing.

>- Would you like to try to import amd's configuration into am-utils ?
>+ A mechanism has been developed to import these amd's configuration files,
>+ but it may fail in some cases.

The long description should give facts, not prompt the user or repeat
the same thing as in the short description.

> Template: am-utils/log-to-file
> Type: note
>-_Description: Cannot log to file.
>+_Description: Failed to log to file
[...]
> Template: am-utils/import-amd-failed
> Type: note
>-_Description: Automatic import of amd's configuration failed.
>+_Description: Automatic import of amd's configuration failed

The short description of a note template is a title.

> Template: am-utils/use-nis
> Type: boolean
> Default: false
>-_Description: Is the amd master map propagated through NIS ?
>+_Description: Is the amd master map propagated through NIS?

Typographical mistake.

Please never use first person. Just give facts.

The short description of a string template should be formatted as a
prompt.

> Template: am-utils/map-net
> Type: boolean
> Default: true
>-_Description: Use the net map ?
>+_Description: Use the net map?
[...]
> Template: am-utils/map-home

Typographical mistake.

> Template: am-utils/map-others
> Type: string
>-_Description: What other maps should be used ?
>+_Description: Other maps to use:

The short description of a string template should be formatted as a
prompt.

>- If you need to use other kinds of maps, you can enter them here...
>+ If you need to use other kinds of maps, you can enter them here.

This punctuation is pointless.

> Template: am-utils/clustername

>-_Description: What cluster name should be used?
>+_Description: Cluster name to use:

The short description of a string template should be formatted as a
prompt.

Please do remove these templates. If it was needed, every package would
need it, and it would be inside debconf. It only annoys the user who has
to read one more screen to install the package.

> Template: am-utils/config-reimport

The short description of a select template should be formatted as a
prompt.

Avoid refering to debconf. The user might not know what it is.

>- You can also keep the manual configuration and leave everything as it

>+ You can also keep the manual configuration and leave everything as it is.

Pointless punctuation, that gives a feeling of poor quality.

For lintian.


Please also note that many of these errors are noticed by lintian.
