I finally managed to complete the rewrite. As you may see, I tried to
simpligy the wording in many places. IMHO, you don't need to explain
each and every detail. The style is more or less what I personnally
consider the most appropriate style for debconf templates wording : 

-as neutral as possible
-use active voice most of the time
-avoid repeating the short description in the long description
-no questions except for boolean templates
-no first person sentences
-"opened prompts" for all user input except boolean (meaning a final
 colon)
-no ending dot on note templates (and no exclamation mark...this is
 not neutral wording)

Of course, I bet there are my usual English mistakes, so other
contributors will probably correct them..:-)
