[sldev] Patch to Address Debit Permission Spoofing

[Able Whitman]

What if the first line, in bold and white, said something like "An object
wants permission to take money (L$) from you.", and then went on to give
more detail?

I definitely agree, less wording is better, but when I was trying to come up
with the right phrasing I felt a little hampered by the fact that the debit
permission is fairly complicated to describe accurately.
