Bug Description

The installer says:

"After installation completes, Ubuntu will assist you in configuring UEFI Secure Boot. ..."

In reality, the MOK management tool opens to a menu with four options and zero context:

1. Continue boot
2. Enroll MOK
3. Enroll key from disk
4. Enroll hash from disk

The user should not have to select 2 manually, but if they do, you should probably tell them about it.

Marked as affecting subiquity, which is the core of the current installer in 24.04.

This is a valid bug against Ubuntu 22.04, but unlikely to be resolved because development of ubiquity is discontinued, and such a change also has implications for translation support.
