The original bug report mentioned "LUKS password" which means the bug
report doesn't belong to user-setup but partman-crypto and is about
choosing the encryption passphrase.
A,nd, for what's is worth, I disagree with this bug report. People's
mileage may vary about what is good for a passphrase and what is
not. This is not the purpose of the installer to explain people how
secure pass{words|phrases} should be and how they should be to be
secure.
The point of the given details is about telling people what they can
do and what they can't.
So, I, for myself, veto any change to this debconf template.
