Package: norwegian
Severity: minor
Tags: l10n

Hi,

While reviewing a translation I discovered that the package norwegian
contains three debconf template strings that are nearly identical. Only
the last sentence differs. The attached patch addresses this by
splitting these paragraphs up.

This reduces the amount of duplication in your strings and hence the
amount of work and possibility for errors for translators.

Please apply it. If you do, run debconf-updatepo to get all translations
updated again, and use podebconf-report-po to ask translators to update
their existing translations.

thanks,
Thijs
