Hi,


I have one last possible template change on my todo list.
The template in question is about the description of the debconf levels.
I personally always found that terribly difficult and not understandable.

Currently that is:

#. Type: select
#. Description
#. :sl2:
#: ../cdebconf-udeb.templates:2002
msgid ""
"You can select the lowest priority of question you want to see:\n"
" - 'critical' is for items that will probably break the system\n"
"    without user intervention.\n"
" - 'high' is for items that don't have reasonable defaults.\n"
" - 'medium' is for normal items that have reasonable defaults.\n"
" - 'low' is for trivial items that have defaults that will work in\n"
"   the vast majority of cases."
msgstr ""

#. Type: select
#. Description
#. :sl2:
#: ../cdebconf-udeb.templates:2002
msgid ""
"For example, this question is of medium priority, and if your priority were "
"already 'high' or 'critical', you wouldn't see this question."
msgstr ""



I would propose to simplify/improve that like this:

You can select the priority of question you want to see:
- 'critical': you will only see items that will probably break the system
   without user intervention.
- 'high': items are shown, that don't have reasonable defaults, additionally
  to those from critical.
- 'medium': also show normal items that have reasonable defaults.
- 'low': even show trivial items that have defaults which will work in
  the vast majority of cases.


For example, this question is of medium priority, and if your actual priority 
would be 'high' or 'critical', you wouldn't see this question.
