Bug#971438: Debconf variable names not "automation friendly"

Package: slapd
Version: 2.4.47+dfsg-3+deb10u2

I spend the last hour to understand what the debconf variables „password1“ and „password2“ are for.
Now I know that they’re just for password-confirmation, so I would like to suggest to make this clear in the variable names.
I would propose to change the variable-names to „admin_password“ (for „password1“) and „admin_password_confirm“ (for „password2“).
That would make it easier to understand directly what the variables are meant for.
