Hello,
recently your Debconf messages was reviewed by SMITH which included a
change which I believe not to be an improvement:

-However, since the Debian policy requires
+However, since the distribution policy

For the interested reader "distribution policy" is a undefined term
(Debian has lots of policies) and the argument of reduced work for
translators of derived distribution was not supported strongly (i.e.
was not felt a strong problem) on debian-i18n. Please see the thread
starting at
http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2007/11/msg00059.html
for all details.

So IMHO the change should be reverted, or the alternative phrase:
"as the default shell is required to be POSIX compliant"
should be used (this is a suggestion by Christian Perrier).

If you decide to implement either of the two choices, please remember
to call for updates using "podebconf-report-po". If you need help
coordinating the updates, don't hesitate to ask either on debian-i18n
or me (though I might be a little slow to respond).

Thanks & Greetings

                 Helge
