Oh, and I dropped "You" from the check as it's not first-person and it's
not already checked by debconf.  I think that one's more questionable and
more a matter of style.  We may want to impose such a style, but I think
more consensus is needed before doing that.  I would tend to say "this
package is not suitable for..." instead of "You shouldn't use this package
if...", but I don't think there's anything basically wrong with the second
construction.
