Lintian tag: using-first-person-in-templates
Type: warning
Description (from lintian-explain-tags)
You should avoid the use of first person ("I will do this..." or "We
recommend..."). The computer is not a person and the Debconf templates do
not speak for the Debian developers. You should use neutral construction
and often the passive form.
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 6.5.2.5 of the Debian Developer's Reference for
details.
