Avoiding the implication that the server is your personal property is usually worth the effort; references to personal preferences are less of a problem, but given the opportunity I try to avoid them too. It is possible that the reader would *like* to configure it one way but site policy says something different. Of course, even then you would still probably prefer to configure it the way that lets you keep your job... >> + Select "None" to configure the web server manually. So if I select "None", debconf won't configure the web server automatically, it'll do it manually? That's just enough of a potential misunderstanding to make me stick with "if you would like". >>>> -Description: Frontend to rrdtool for monitoring systems and services >>>> +Description: web frontend for graphing systems and services monitoring >>>> data [...] >> Description: web-based interface for graphing and monitoring diverse data That's the best I've seen so far. -- JBR with qualifications in linguistics, experience as a Debian sysadmin, and probably no clue about this particular package -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
