Hi list. I've recently written my first debian patch, which is very simple, but uses a single debconf dialog. I'm a native English speaker, but I'm having trouble matching the debian writing style, so any advice or guidance on how to adjust my dialog text would be greatly appreciated.
What I've got so far: Template: preseed/accept_preseed_from_DHCP Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Accept a preseed URL from the DHCP server? The DHCP server provided extra commands or customisations to debian-installer via a preseed file. It is possible that these commands were set by the network administrator; however, it is impossible to verify this, or to ensure they have not been altered by an attacker who already has access to the local network. For this reason, you should only accept these customisations if you accept the risk they entail. This is for debian bug 788634 (bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=788634), if the additional context is helpful. The gist of it is that d-i accepts a preseed URL from a DHCP option, which may be insecure, so this patch is to add a confirmation dialog to be shown if a preseed file is provided via DHCP.
