Fake RAID (dmraid) support - review of templates

I have now finished the last changes I wanted to make before uploading the fake RAID support that was implemented during DebConf.

I would appreciate it if some people would review the new templates created for this:
- one internal template in hw-detect (no review needed) - two templates in partman-base:
  partman/text/dmraid_volume, partman/text/dmraid_part - all templates in partman-dmraid
- two templates in grub-installer:
  grub-installer/fakeraid, grub-installer/fakeraid-error

The main question is probably how we should refer to these devices. Currently they will be displayed as follows on the main screen:   Fake (ata) RAID <device name> (mirror) - 40.0 GB Linux device-mapper
> #1 primary 10.0 GB B fat32
> #2 primary 29.0 GB ext2
> #3 primary 995.3 MB ext2

  Fake (ata) RAID <device name> (partition #1) - 10.0 GB Linux device
> #1 10.0 GB fat32

  Fake (ata) RAID <device name> (partition #2) - 29.0 GB Linux device
> #1 29.0 GB ext3 /

  Fake (ata) RAID <device name> (partition #3) - 995.3 MB Linux device
> #1 995.3 MB swap swap

Is "Fake (ata) RAID" a good description, or should we use something else. On Google, "fake raid" gets 14,400 hits and fakeraid even more (40,500), so it's a fairly widely accepted term. (Intel seems to call it "Serial ATA RAID" and "Matrix storage".)

Alternatives could be:

- Fake (ATA) RAID
- Fake RAID (or maybe fakeraid, FakeRaid, FakeRAID)
- Serial ATA RAID
- Fake (SATA) RAID
- ATA RAID
- ...

Note that the templates in existing components are currently not marked as "translatable"; the ones in partman-dmraid are, but these are not yet merged into the master file.
Should we enable translation for templates while it is still experimental (after the review)? Or maybe just for those in partman-base?

Cheers,
FJP
