Continuing the package cleanup, I found a lintian warning about debconf:

=====
W: common-lisp-controller source: translated-default-field templates: 13
N:
N:   You should not mark as translatable "Default:" or "DefaultChoice:"
N:   fields, unless explicitly needed (e.g. default country, default
N:   language, etc.). If this Default field really should be translated,
N:   you should explain translators how they should translate it by using
N:   brackets. For example:
N:
N:     _Default: English[ Default language name, but not translated]
N:
N:   Refer to the po-debconf(7) manual page for details.
N:
=====

It seems that the patch below is enough for lintian to be happy, but I'm
not a debconf/translation expert, so I'm here looking for help.

FWIW, I also included the removal of a trailing space at the end of a
line.  AFAIK changing a debconf template requires new checkout for the
translations, I guess that combining both (lintian fix and removal) will
demand less burden for translators.
