On second thoughts, I'm going to leave this as RC for now.  I made some
specific suggestions in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=966575#102 that I
think could probably be implemented without taking too long, and if we
do that before this reaches testing then that would reduce the number of
people with unbootable systems.
