The text width in the templates file is not really important as it has
nothing to do with how things will be really displayed (with the
noticeable exception of text that's hard-formatted on purpose....which
is done when lines are prepended with *two* spaces...which does not
happen in ufw).

So, changing the text width has no consequence on translations and you
may adapt things as you want in the final result.

One thing you should be careful about, though: track down *trailing
spaces* in lines. These will produce double spaces when the material
is displayed by debconf, and these double spaces will also appear in
material offered to translators. So, in short: *no trailing spaces*.
