Frans Pop suggested in #debian-boot

[20:30:49] <fjp> bubulle: I think the program that causes the problems
with comma's is cdebconf's "strutl.c". The functions strgetargc and
strchoicesplit (and maybe str(un)escape) don't know about escaped commas.

So, I duplicate this bug and assign it to cdebconf. Severity normal as
the consequences may vary from program to program and there's indeed
no real urgency for fixing it as workarounds exist (just don't put
commas in translated strings for __Choices).

282379 will be handled by this workaround in console-data (remove
commas).
