    Sure. Does this also apply for bullseye, or is the issue fix somehow?

    Only if D-I was fixed in the meantime.

    An untested patch to the Debian Installer exists to add both snippets if the user chooses to leave the root password blank.

    It will be a while until I can test this, maybe someone else on d-u can
    do so faster (will ask in a separate message).

    Kind regards,
    Andrei

    Did you already have inspiration for some text? Apparently it still
    applies to bullseye and its release is drawing nearer.

    As a result, I think there does indeed continue to be a gap in the
    documentation, and that either Andrei's suggested issue-note[1] -
    and/or mentioning the relevant systemd config setting may be required
    to boot into rescue/emergency mode, would be worthwhile.

    (I have confirmed locally that it is still necessary to add the config
    option to get to a root shell when rebooting into those targets)

    I'd like to apologize for my tone here and in a related merge
    request[1] - in both I've replied too bluntly.

    fwiw, i didnt have any issue with your tone in the reply to my email at
    all, i took you to be saying that there is still a gap to fill, and i
    dont disagree -- as you suggest below, i think people are waiting for a new text. (i personally dont understand the issue to write content for this,
    but will help with the language)

    Also, if I care about
    this issue - which I do - then I think I should carry responsibility
    for making progress on it and accepting feedback.
