Describe the solution you'd like
Currently the authentication dialogue is set to display no informational title/text and the user only sees the generic "an application is attempting to perform an action that requires privages..." text. While not extremely important, adding standard title text would make this dialogue conform with how most apps use it, and would add some nice polish. I would consider it best practice to include something like one of the following:
"Authentication is required to upgrade Linux Mint"
"Authentication is required to upgrade to Linux Mint xx.xx"
"Distribution Upgrade"
"Linux Mint Distribution Upgrade"
etc, etc.
Additional context
This may require a policy file to be added to /usr/share/polkit-1/actions, possible implementations could include bundling the policy file in cinnamon itself (in linuxmint/cinnamon/files/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/) as well as other methods. See the following screenshot for the current dialogue:
