While translating the file libpam-ldap, I encountered the following typos, which I thought you might like to eliminate in a future release.

This variable controls which version of the LDAP protocol will ldapns use. It is always a good idea to set this to highest possible version number.

(There appears to be a double space between "possible" and "version".)

libpam-ldap has been moved to use debconf for (a) it's configuration. Should the
settings in debconf be applied to the configuration (b). .  All new
installations will have (c) this by default.

(a) 's is only used to show possession with ordinary nouns, never with pronouns:

Christian's address
his address
Hanna's page
her page
Clytie's message
my message
Stefan's and Jenna's discussion
their discussion
etc.
so:
the dog's tail
its tail

Apostrophes in pronouns always indicate a missing letter (usually one vowel):

she's = she is
I'm = I am
you're = you are
I'd = I had
they've = they have
so:
it's = it is

In this string, therefore, you should have:
"to use debconf for its configuration"

 (b) This is a question, but has two full stops instead.

(c) The structure is also unclear: this what? I would recommend, instead:

"libpam-ldap is now set to use debconf for configuration. Do you want to apply the debconf settings to that configuration? They will be applied to all new installations by default."

Just a suggestion. ;)
