We generally add a task for the ubuntu-translations project and assign
the bug to the right translation team. In this case, I've assigned the
bug to the British team, and all members should be notified, which
should help kicking off the discussion of keeping consistency in the
translations of 'disk' within the mountall template.

Title:
  Inconsistent wording in messages from fsck

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When the mountall/plymouth process runs fsck during boot the wording
  is inconsistent. The messages displayed are as follows

    Checking disk drives for errors. This may take several minutes.

    Checking disc 1 of 1 (n% complete)

    Press C to cancel all checks in progress

  The first and third messages come from mountall, not sure where the
  second one comes from as it isn't in the mountall source, possibly
  fsck itself. Anyway one message uses disk and one uses disc, they
  should either both use the same spelling or the work disk should be
  removed entirely.
