Title:
  Improve prompting for Secure Boot password

Status in shim-signed package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in shim-signed source package in Precise:
  In Progress
Status in shim-signed source package in Trusty:
  In Progress
Status in shim-signed source package in Xenial:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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.
