Hmmm, the templates says that using an empty password is not allowed
and *then* that choosing one will switch to sudo mode. That can be
confusing.

Also, the templates gives the feeling that the user account will be
created *only* when choosing an empty password, which is of course not
true..:-)

I'd suggest:

"If the password is left empty, the unprivileged account that is
created in next steps will be granted with the power to become root
using the "sudo" command."

PS: we should by the way make sure that something yells out if:
- sudo mode is chosen
- the unprivileged account creation is refused
