I've been silly, you are right. It's corrected. However, there will
always at least be 2 passwords in the database (at least one for the
super-user (root) and one virtual-admin account), so I think it's ok to
drop brackets.

Right!

In the mean while, I added yet another thing. Here's my new template,
including your corrections:

Template: dtc/conf_enforce_adm_encryption
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Enforce DTC admin password(s) encryption?
 To enhance security in case of a breach, DTC can encrypt all
 admin passwords. If passwords are encrypted, you cannot see them
 by clicking on the magnifying glass icon (you will only see the
 encrypted version of the password), but you can always use the
 dtcpasswdm shell script to (re)set a password. If this is the
 first time you are encrypting your passwords and you are upgrading
 from a previous version of DTC that didn't support password
 encryption, may issue  the following shell script command to
 encrypt all existing passwords:
 .
 mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf -Ddtc --execute="UPDATE
admin SET adm_pass=PASSWORD(adm_pass)"
 .
 mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf -Ddtc --execute="UPDATE
tik_admins SET tikadm_pass=PASSWORD(tikadm_pass)"

P.S: No need to re-attach the templates.pot, I think inline corrections
in the email body is enough.
