It turns out that the package 'live-installer' (which is a udeb-only
package) in Bookworm still is at version 57 [2], while the fix was
released at version 58.
Could the package be unblocked? (And/Or will there be an installer
RC2?)
The new version of live-installer is working correctly, as can be seen
by a sid build of the live image on openQA [4].
Aside from Janitor, modernisation and lintian corrections, my change was the only functionality change in four years (as seen by diffoscope, see below).
There is no autopkgtest, but the openQA run for sid shows that the change
has its intended effect.
If I had known that I would need to file an unblock request, I would have done so, but the timing (patch, merge, release) was rather unfortunate.
It is certainly not a release critical issue, but I personally find it quite annoying to have to wait about 30 minutes for the installation, and then to read 'Installation is complete, so it is time to boot into your new system', press a key and then wait another 2-3 minutes before the reboot is actually performed, while the additional waiting time could have been incorporated into the longer non-interactive phase.
