Package: initrd-netboot
Severity: normal
The recently introduced debconf for this package IMHO need some rewrite, at
least for using capitals when needed, as well as using the recommended write
style (see Developer's Reference 6.5.2). /me should remember about bringing
a few caps keys to Jonas at next Debconf...:-)
The attached diff proposes such rewrite (which sometimes removes useless
redundant sentences between short and long descriptions).
If you apply all or part of this rewrite proposal, please warn translators
by using the podebconf-report-po utility after changing the templates master
file and running debconf-updatepo.
