[Bug 342655] Re: Confusing debconf message when upgrading

[Marius Gedminas]

I upgraded to Jaunty today and was confused by the systat question
dialog too.

What a user sees is this:

  Configuring sysstat

  [ ] Do you want post-installation script to remove these data files?
[ Help ]

The first reaction is "huh? what files?".  The second reaction is to try
the [ Help ] button, which, thankfully, explains everything.

I would recommend this question to be rephrased to be understandable without reading the help message first.  E.g.
"Remove daily data statistics files from /var/log/sysstat/ (needed to make sar work)?"
