Indeed, in the short description line it shouldn't even be a full sentence. It ought to be something like this (and it should have come through d-l-e for review before it went to translators): Template: macchanger/automatically_run Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Change MAC automatically? Please specify whether macchanger should be set up to run automatically every time a network device is brought up or down. This gives a new MAC address whenever you attach or detach an ethernet cable, or enable/disable wifi. But wait, how can it give a new MAC address for a DEconfigured network interface? Shouldn't it be just: Template: macchanger/automatically_run Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Change MAC automatically? Please specify whether macchanger should be set up to run automatically every time a network device is brought up or down. This gives a new MAC address whenever you reattach an ethernet cable or reenable wifi. -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package
