Public bug reported:

Current strings in debconf templates for asking for a Secure Boot
password are suboptimal:

Template: shim/secureboot_key
Type: password
_Description: Password:
 Please enter a password for disabling Secure Boot. It will be asked again
 after a reboot.
 
Template: shim/secureboot_key_again
Type: password
_Description: Re-enter password to verify:
 Please enter the same password again to verify you have typed it correctly.

This would show only the short description in the debconf GNOME
frontend; which may not be passing sufficient information for users to
understand what is expected of them, and that they really need to
remember that password since it will be asked after a reboot.
