ok, so how 'long' can the long description be?
      

Tricky..:-)

But you can use the podebconf-display-po utility for this (from the
po-debconf package). Of course you have to use it in a 80x25 terminal.
    

ok, updated version attached, I pruned it so it fits on 1 screen in a 80x25 
terminal (which is better, though that screen does scroll, we really need a 
better scroll indicator in the dialog frontend :-( )
  

It's still quite big. Is it realy necessary to give such an extended description of a good password?
I mean, if you do need a good password (ie you're a professional sysadmin) you already know this. If you don't (you're setting-up Debian on a personal pc) you probably won't need one and just saying: "Dit is belangrijk, zorg dat je een goed wachtwoord neemt" will make the situation clear too...
Just a thought...
