This is the same bug than 278011. Unfortunately, it seems that I
missed Turkish in the translations I modified for this mistake.

My apologies for that, Recai.

Andreas, Marc, I suggest adding a giant warning at the end of the
current warning you have already in
exim4-config.templates.master. Something like:

# DO NOT USE commas (,) in Choices translations otherwise
# this will break the choices shown to users

This problem in the tr translation probably deserves a new
sarge-targeted upload...:-(


I clone this bug report into a normal bug against po-debconf for
escaping commas in individual Choices translations when the __Choices
trick is used. Such problem may happen in any package using "__Choices".
