Severity: normal

While translating your debconf messages we noticed quite a few issues
within the debconf template, ranging from spelling error over punctuation
problems up to difficult to understand sentences. 

Please ask on debian-l10n-english for a review to fix all issues, as
we are not native speakers.

We found the following issues:

Issue: The wording "is safe" is ambigous, maybe just state (as other tools do 
as well): "If unsure, keep the default list."

#. Type: string
#. Description
#: ../kwartz-client.templates:2001
"Please enter the port number of the proxy service. The default value is "
"usually safe."



Issue 1: Missing final full stop
Issue 2: The previous strings do not use "you" in the 2nd sentence, use 
coherent wording, avoding "you"

#. Type: boolean
#. Description
#: ../kwartz-client.templates:6001
"When the recommended package unattended-upgrades is installed, APT will run "
"in the background to attempt some automatic upgrades. If unsure, you can "
"safely keep the \"false\" option"




Issue 1: What is "run some automatic update"? Do you mean "When APT updates the 
package database"?
Issue 2: Sometimes, "apt" is used, sometimes "APT"?
Issue 3: unpriviledged → unprivileged

#. Type: string
#. Description
#: ../kwartz-client.templates:7001
"When APT will run some automatic update for the package database, a user "
"name is needed to use the proxy service. This user must be unpriviledged. If "
"apt does not need to make automatic upgrades, you can keep the default empty "
"value."



Issue: The previous prompt uses an article, this is inconsistent

#. Type: password
#. Description
#: ../kwartz-client.templates:8001
"Password to access the web:"


Issue: some strong password → a strong password

#. Type: password
#. Description
#: ../kwartz-client.templates:8001
"The unpriviledged user which will be used by APT to access the web needs a "
"password. It must be some strong password. If apt does not need to make "
"automatic upgrades, you can keep the default empty value."
