The original bug referred to
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802211 - fixed in
bookworm
The above refers to
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=952450 is open as of
23 Dec 2024
I think this bug is about using system and rescue mode, which we
currently have section 4.1.4.2

Is there still something to document for a) bookworm and b) trixie,
and if so, what should it say?
