   * Point the correct document about password encryption in debconf templates
     Corrected in translations as well. Closes: #502838
+  * Reword debconf templates to avoid mentioning the local host as a "server".
+    Closes: #171777
+  * Use this opportunity for other minor rewording:
+    - replace "SMB" by "SMB/CIFS"
+    - more strongly discouraging the use of plain text passwords
+    - unpersonnalization
