Bug#745361: cdebconf-gtk-udeb: fails to advertise "rescue mode" on start-up

It looks like a start-up issue indeed. Looking at handle_exposed_banner(),
we're getting fe->info == NULL at the beginning. What is funny is that
switching to a VT, then going back to X triggers the appropriate
behaviour: the message is then written on the banner as expected.

Not quite sure how to fix this issue at the moment.
