The whatmaps package introduced new or modified debconf templates. This is often a good moment for a review to help the package maintainer following the general suggested writing style and track down typos and errors in the use of English language. A bug report has been sent against the package: 756584 If someone wants to pick up this review, please answer to this mail, in the mailing list, with an [ITR] (Intent To Review) label. The templates file is attached. To propose the file you reviewed for peer review, please send a [RFR] (Request For Review) mail with the reviewed file attached...then a few days later, when no more contributions come, a summary mail with a [LCFC] (Last Chance For Comments) label. These RFR and LCFC mails should CC the opened bug report. Finally, after no more comments coming to the LCFC mail, you can send the reviewed templates file in the bug report. Then, please notify the list with a last mail using a [BTS] label with the bug number. Helping the package maintainer to deal with induced translation updates at that moment will be nice. If you're not comfortable with that part of the process, please hand it off to a translator. --
Template: whatmaps/enable_service_restarts Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Automatically restart services after shared library security updates? Services need to be restarted to benefit from updates of shared libraries they depend on. Without that they remain vulnerable to security bugs fixed in these updates. . Automatic service restarts are only done if apt fetched the library from a source providing security updates. This also affects packages installed via unattended-upgrades.

Description: tool to find processes mapping shared objects
After package upgrades (especially security fixes), services using a
shared library need to be restarted to make use of the updated version.
.
Whatmaps looks for shared objects provided by upgraded packages, lists any
running processes that map them, and can integrate with APT to restart
services as needed after security upgrades.
