I'm a bit confused -- the version of libreswan in debian unstable
actually has no debconf questions. Upstream has a (stale, old) debian/
directory that they ship, which does have a bunch of debconf stuff, but
we do not use that at all in debian.
My goal for the debian package is to be configuration-free and automatic
wherever possible, with the ability for a knowledgable admin to take a
few simple and easy steps *after* package installation if they want to
convert from opportunistic modes into authenticated modes.
So i'm closing this bug report, because i don't think the translations
are meaningful to the current debian package.
i feel bad that you spent your time translating strings from upstream
that we don't need, though :/ I wish i could have done something
different so that your contributions to debian would have helped more
people.
Is there some way that i could improve the debian packaging (or could
encourage upstream to do) to make this kind of confusion less likely to
happen in the future?
thanks for your work localizing debian!
