This is a matter of opinion, and I rather suspect that if we make this
change then a different set of people will object to the passive voice.
We probably can't win.

Title:
Reword "restart computer" text
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
At the end of the Ubuntu 9.10 installation, the following text appears on the screen:
"You need to restart the computer."
It should be changed to:
"The computer needs to be restarted."
Passive voice is considered much more polite. Furthermore, it does not
necessarily have to be the person reading the text who must perform
the restart operation.
