Lintian tag: template-uses-unsplit-choices

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The use of _Choices in templates is deprecated. A _Choices field must be
translated as a single string.

Using __Choices allows each choice to be translated separately, easing
translation and is therefore recommended.

Instead of simply replacing all occurrences of "_Choices" by "__Choices",
apply the method described in po-debconf(7) under "SPLITTING CHOICES
LIST", to avoid breaking existing translations.

If in doubt, please ask for help on the debian-i18n mailing list.

Please refer to the po-debconf(7) manual page for details.
