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.
