I never did quite understand where it allowed IP addresses and where
it allows names. If here it really doesn't mind how you identify the
master scheduler, we could simplify the description:
_Description: Master scheduler for this worker:
Compare the previous one ("Name of the master instance for this
worker:"), where the admin is being asked to *invent* a name for the
master. The distinction might be even clearer if that was "Name for
the master instance".

Same agai- wait a minute... duplicate template! I missed this last
time around.
(Isn't there some sort of lintian check for this?)

Another case where I was confused. IP address? Or just a way of
identifying the machine?

Harvard comma, just for stylistic standardisation. It's a lot of

Assuming I've understood this correctly my suggestion was to make that

As opposed to a used database - I suggested:
although design limitations mean that it always
installs a database (unused on a remote worker).

It's not clear to me whether that's
* "of the particular manual that is available"
* "of the manual, which also happens to be available"
* "of the manual, which is thereby made available"
but I'll assume it's obvious for people who might install it.

Room for some more trivial d-l-e-house-style tweaks.
Wait, why is my patch messing with dependencies? Am I diffing against
an obsolete version?
Why-The-Name footnote: the part I'm not sure about is whether it's a
coincidence that LAVA is nearly but not quite an example of LAMP
software.
