[Debconf-devel] Bug#436114: better password template type

Or at the very minimum, have some kind of common templates for such
prompting, which would save some space and avoid us translators to
always translate the very same prompts.

That'd mean a package similar to dbconfig-common....which would just
provide a few very common templates.

I have somethign like this sitting on my HD since...2004..:-)
