Title:
  Wrong source text string in debian-installer for Ubuntu

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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."
