Package: debconf
Version: 1.4.72
Severity: wishlist

I couldn't find any hint that comments are allowed in templates files,
neither in the man page nor in the sources at a quick glance.  But this
would be very useful.

We've just sent out a translation request to the last noted translators,
and one of them commented that the english wording of one of the new
messages could be better.  The issue wasn't important enough to warrant
a change at once, and bothering the translators again, but we'd like to
do it as soon as we need to ask for translations again because of some
other change.

In order to not forget this, it would be cool if we could not this in
the templates file, without making translations fuzzy.  Just a simple
one-line comment started with "^#" would do.

Regards, Frank
