This also happens with fresh Trixie installations, and that looks
utterly silly… :(

There were a number of follow-ups by Vincent, it'd be nice if someone
could look into getting that fixed.

Looping in debian-boot@, debian-cd@ for awareness, esp. when it's going
to be time to test Trixie Alpha 1 images.


Cheers,
