Thanks, but:

+# Willingly different from original markup to avoid error message (#606702)

 #: ../grub-pc.templates.in:6001
-#, fuzzy
-#| msgid "${DEVICE} (${SIZE} MB, ${MODEL})"
 msgid "- ${DEVICE} (${SIZE} MB, ${PATH})"
-msgstr "${DEVICE} (${SIZE} MB, ${MODEL})"
+msgstr "  ${DEVICE} (${SIZE} MB, ${PATH})"

As I indicated in my comment, I think that leading spaces may well not
work properly at run-time: my guess is that they may well be confused
with choice separators.  podebconf-display-po is apparently quite buggy.
However, it's orders of magnitude more important that these translations
work properly at run-time.  Every other language so far has stuck with
the leading "-".

Can I change this in my tree to use a leading "-"?
