[Bug 964093] [NEW] Wrong source text string in debian-installer for Ubuntu

[Pjotr12345]

Public bug reported:

Upon translating debian-installer for Ubuntu, I've come across a source
text string that seems wrong, at least wrong for Ubuntu. Namely string
1181, which pertains to Grub2, and goes like this:

"It has interesting new features but is still experimental software for
this architecture. If you choose to install it, you should be prepared
for breakage, and have an idea on how to recover your system if it
becomes unbootable. You're advised not to try this in production
environments."

This seems to me inappropriate for Ubuntu, which has Grub 2 by
default.... I do not suppose that we want to scare Ubuntu users away
from Grub2.

My suggestion would be an adaptation of this text string, roughly like this:
"It has interesting new features, but other distributions than Ubuntu, consider it as experimental software for this architecture. In Ubuntu Grub2 is being used by default, and it's therefore the best choice for Ubuntu."
