Indeed, these ones should not be translatable *at all*.

Joey, what about using the po-debconf new features that allow marking
some choices as "non translatable". From the 6 choices we have those 2
are obviously non translatable stuff. The other could be translated
(indeed, in French, we translate them....while we don't translate the
other 2....and if the French do not translate something, this is
definitely untranslatable, isn't it?).

See attached patch.

The rewrite seems somewhat interesting to me. We're still on time for
doing it....but the decision has to be made now.

I leave up to Joey to decide for the rewrite.
