Package: cdebconf-gtk-udeb
Version: 0.189
Severity: normal

When enabling rescue mode, the banner isn't including the usual “Rescue
mode” label at start-up. Switching to any language enables it, though.
Going back to English afterwards gives the proper message. So I suspect
that's really a one-time issue while loading the first time. The text
installer doesn't seem to suffer from this, so I'm filing this bug
report against cdebconf-gtk-udeb without further investigation for the
time being.

I've also reproduced this with a 7.4 netinst image, using graphical
rescue mode:

Mraw,
KiBi.

This bug report received a duplicate later on, which has been addressed
