This adds a new translatable template, which it is far too late in the release process to get translated. I think this problem could be finessed by copying the text of the short description and first paragraph of the grub-installer/bootdev template. (Ideally into a common template that is SUBSTED into both to avoid bloat.) There are also some hardcoded user-visible strings embedded in the code, which need to be a) moved to the template and b) somehow translated 3 months ago. I don't think that "(An entry dialog will appear)" adds anything to the $manual_entry string ("Enter device manually"). There is an "enter information manually" string in choose-mirror that could be copied, with full translations. device_list() builds a comma-delimited list; it could be that the description of a device contains a comma (eg, "Foo Corp, Inc. mega super drive"), and so it needs to be sanitized. +# make sure this question is displayed at least once +db_fset grub-installer/choose_bootdev seen false That is unncessary in d-i; d-i always re-asks seen questions. (And it's very bad style to ever mess with seen flags, in any use of debconf. You will cause bugs that are hard to find.) -- see shy jo
