Thanks, Helen. You're absolutely right, my original sentence was a bit strange. I used your proposal in the new online version of that text. Indeed, debconf templates are not really a place where non gender neutral stuff is likely to appear, but this document is a good occasion for pushing this idea (which I recently tried to apply in the new version of the Debian Installer internationalisation documentation).
