Bug Description

Binary package hint: ufw

The following prompt doesn't make much sense in a GUI with a checkbox:

Template: ufw/enable
Type: boolean
Default: false
Description: Should ufw be enabled?

I would have expected there to Yes / No buttons in a GUI with a question phrased like this.

  * debian/templates: rephrase boolean description so it works with both cli
    yes/no question and gui checkbox (LP: #337890)
