The patch I sent in this bug report has a glitch. In debian/linux-base.templates, it introduces a blank line after "_Description" in one of the templates. As a consequence, the remaining of this template will not show up...:-(
A fixed patch is attached to this mail. Thanks A LOT to David Prévôt who noticed the error. --
