Package: sl-modem Severity: minor Tags: patch Hi,
There are various problems with your debconf template. Here are my comments: > -_Choices: _list_ > +Choices: _list_ This field should not be marked as translatable. > -Default: USA > +# Translators: Enter the country (in uppercase and in English) where your > +# language is mostly spoken, for example FRANCE for French or GERMANY for > +# German > +_Default: USA[ default country] But this one should be, as the default for somebody speaking French is probably not "USA". I've added a comment to be sure translators know how to translate it. > -_Description: Location of the modem > +_Description: Location of the modem: This one should be formed as a prompt, as warned by lintian: W: sl-modem-daemon: malformed-prompt-in-templates sl-modem-daemon/country > - In which country is your modem located?

The most common error is a question in the long description. I'm not a native speaker, and I don't know your package, so my description should probably be improved. Cheers, -- Thomas Huriaux
