Lintian tag: untranslatable-debconf-templates

Type: error

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

This package seems to be using debconf templates, but some descriptions
are not translatable. You should prepend an underscore before every
translatable field, as described in po-debconf(7). This may mean that
translators weren't properly warned about new strings.

Translators may be notified of changes using podebconf-report-po, for
example:

podebconf-report-po --call --withtranslators --deadline="+10 days" \
--languageteam

If the field is not intended for users to see, ensure the first line of
the description contains "for internal use".

Please refer to Prompting in maintainer scripts (Section 3.9.1) in the
Debian Policy Manual for details.
