Please find, for review, the debconf templates of udev.
This review will last from Thursday, April 12, 2007 to Sunday, April 22, 2007.
Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original
files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated.
Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail.
When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with
"[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag.
When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For
Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag.
Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer
as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as
a subject tag.

Will guarantee that the note is displayed. Part of my Jihad against
Evil Debconf Notes..:-). Debconf will show it in different colors
(when using the dialog interface) which will bring the extra attention
needed.

Try giving mor emeaning to the short description in case it is
displayed alone (happens with the Gnome interface of debconf).
Split paragraphs to give the important fact more obvious to see. The
first sentence is reworded for clarity.
Remove the "You have been warned". Stay factual..:-)
