[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#557952: clamsmtp: Improvement for Debconf question

Quoting Helge Kreutzmann (debian at helgefjell.de):

I would also suggest dropping the "Warning!" part. I strongly disagree
with any kind of wording that "carries emotion", such as exclamation
mark and stuff that directly addresses users. Warning notices should
only be factual and neutral.

Here, what's intended is to discourage users to make a given
choice. In such case, just say that "Choosing <foo> is discouraged
because <bar>".
