+Template: metche/email
+Type: string
+Default: root@localhost
+Description: Email address to which the reports will be sent.
+ By default, metche is run periodically by a cron job which returns
+ reports containing changes made to:
+  - the changelog files,
+  - the watched files,
+  - the list of installed debian packages.
+ This option indicates to which email address those reports will be
+ sent and typically corresponds to your collective mailing-list
+ address.
+ .
+ See https://poivron.org/dev/metche/ for an example.
+ .
+ Note: metche is also able to use GnuPG to encrypt the email it sends,
+ but does not by default. See the man page and the configuration file
+ for more details.
+
+Template: metche/changelog
+Type: string
+Description: Changelog file to be monitored.
+ Metche can monitor changelog files written by *you* and which should
+ comment the changes you made to the system. This option can be used
+ to activate the monitoring of a single changelog file.
+ .
+ Note that you can also change metche's configuration file for it to
+ monitor a set of changelog files stored in a changelog directory
+ instead of a single file.
+
+Template: metche/backups
+Type: string
+Default: /var/lib/metche
+Description: Directory containing the backups.
+ This option corresponds to the directory in which metche will store
+ the backups of the watched directories. Make sure that this backup
+ place is at least as secured as the source.
