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,
