Package: brltty
Version: 6.7-1
Severity: minor

Hello maintainers of brltty-udeb,

For some reason the d-i installation logs are filled with remarks that 
the package description for brltty-udeb could not be found:

`Apr 26 09:41:16 main-menu[494]: INFO: Falling back to the package 
description for brltty-udeb`

See openQA for a log:
https://openqa.debian.net/tests/387921#step/complete_install/30

The error message is generated by main-menu:
https://sources.debian.org/src/main-menu/1.69/main-menu.c/#L260

However, there is already some code that should set this text:

https://salsa.debian.org/a11y-team/brltty/-/blob/master/debian/brltty-udeb.templates?ref_type=heads

Similar code exists in hw-detect, and that doesn't cause these log messages:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/hw-detect/-/blob/master/debian/ethdetect.templates?ref_type=heads#L40

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
