The checkbox says "Do you want post-installation script to remove
these data files?".  I thought that checkboxes are supposed to have
statements next to them, not questions.  I had to think about what
would happen if I clicked the check button.  Also, critical
information as to what the checkbox's question means is shown after
you click the help button.

I know this is graphical debconf, but I don't think it's being done
very well.  This bug isn't very important, but I think the behavior
shown is suboptimal.  It would be better if a yes/no question had
buttons for yes and no and the question was more descriptive, i.e.
"Remove files in /var/log/sysstat?".
