We cannot know what happens or not... But in this case, I propose to do only the needed template changes, to get that all consistent, and keep the rest as is. Additionally, we could add comments to relevant strings like "When doing changes, please pay attention to stay consistent with other similar strings in <package/filename/variablename>." or such. Such comment would then also be visible to translators, making them aware of this situation too (to keep the translation phrases consistent as well, where applicable). >No. My idea is to split the descriptions in two parts: >- a specific part defined in the package templates >- a common part describing the units defined in partman-base templates >and use debconf substitution feature.

Yes, when doing changes as described, that will not break preseeding indeed. Holger -- Sent from /e/ OS on Fairphone3
