why? please explain these changes...

I'm not sure this is suitable/very relevant for 0.61..

I rather prefer colons in the beginning, "$pkg: fails to install" reads much 
better than "fails to install: $pkg"

</nitpicking>

I'm also not sure this is suitable/relevant for 0.61.

not yet merged, because I've just said on #debian-release

[23:06] <      h01ger> | so andreas beckmann did some 13 useful commits to 
piuparts (12 going into the scripts running on piu.d.o) and then he 
          made another one, adding a colon to 16 bug-templates

you
[23:07] <      h01ger> | but will still take it as its the least pain and 
because the commit is probably useful and easy to filterdiff...
[23:08] <      h01ger> | you have some minutes to scream ;)

I'm not convinced this is the proper route to address the underlying issue. 
Not sure how to...

basically they are all fine...

Maybe I'm just lazy and should just cherry-pick those 13 "good" commits and 
simply refuse this one apple which ain't ripe yet ;-)


cheers.
