[Regression Potential]
None. The default behavior without a parameter remains to try to disable Secure Boot if it's not already disabled. --enable is documented behind a new parameter --help which displays usage information.
---
Subject says it all. Having to read the source to discover --enable was irksome. There should probably also be an opposite explicit --disable.

* update- secureboot- policy:
- Add a --help option, document other options. (LP: #1604936)
- Rework prompting to display our Secure Boot warning and explanation
text more prominently, rather than forcing graphical users to hit
"Help" to see the full explanation for why we ask about disabling
Secure Boot. (LP: #1595611)
