Please find, for review, the debconf templates and packages descriptions for the ipvsadm source package.
This review will last from Wednesday, August 22, 2012 to Saturday, September
01, 2012.
Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original
files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated.
Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail.
When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with
"[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag.
When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For
Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag.
Finally, a summary will be sent to the review bug report,
and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag.

Avoid translating the variable.
Use "etc." instead of an ellipsis/

"specifying" it.

Description: Linux Virtual Server support programs
The Linux Virtual Server (lvs or IPVS) is a highly scalable and highly
available server built on a cluster of real servers. The architecture of the
cluster is transparent to end users, and the users see only a single virtual
server.
.
This package provides some support programs necessary to implement a virtual
server under Linux. With the addition of the mon and heartbeat packages it is
possible to implement a complete high-availability solution for Linux.
