+Tag: template-uses-unsplit-choices
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/debconf
+Explanation: The use of &lowbar;Choices in templates is deprecated.
+ A &lowbar;Choices field must be translated as a single string.
+ .
+ Using &lowbar;&lowbar;Choices allows each choice to be translated separately, easing
+ translation and is therefore recommended.
+ .
+ Instead of simply replacing all occurrences of "&lowbar;Choices" by "&lowbar;&lowbar;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.
