Package: libpam-ldap Severity: normal Tags: l10n patch The current way the libpam-ldap/pam_password works is very likely to trigger translator mistakes (we did it for French translation). The crypt value choices are not translatable but the translators will probably translate some of them in the description.
I recommend making the choices translatable with the attached patch. This has no influence on the maintainer scripts as debconf always stores the original value and not the translated one. See po-debconf(7) for explanation about the "__" trick. PS: I'd also like to suggest templates rewrites to make them compliant with section 6.5 of the Developer's Reference. Please tell me if you'd accept such patch before. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.13-1-686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8)
