Lintian tag information: malformed-prompt-in-templates (type: warning)
Description (from lintian-explain-tags)
The short description of a select, multiselect, string and password
debconf template is a prompt and not a title. Avoid question style prompts
("IP Address?") in favour of "opened" prompts ("IP address:"). The use of
colons is recommended.
If this template is only used internally by the package and not displayed
to the user, put "for internal use" in the short description.
Please refer to Section 6.5.4.2 of the Debian Developer's Reference for
details.
