Suggestions welcome. At the moment, the templates are as follows:

Template: passwd/user-fullname
Type: string
_Description: Enter a full name for the new user:
 A user account will be created for you to use instead of the root
 account for non-administrative activities. Enter the full name of the
 person who will be using this account.

Template: passwd/username
Type: string
_Description: Enter a username for your account:
 Select a username for the new account. Your first name is a reasonable choice.
 The username should start with a lower-case letter, which can be
 followed by any combination of numbers and more lower-case letters.

Maybe putting the previously-entered full name into the second question
would help it look a bit different?
