+Tag: malformed-prompt-in-templates
+Severity: warning
+Check: debian/debconf
+Explanation: 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.
