I have three installed kernels:

linux-image-4.18.0-2-amd64 -> 4.18.10-2+b1
linux-image-4.18.0-3-amd64 -> 4.18.20-2
linux-image-4.19.0-1-amd64 -> 4.19.9-1

I upgraded systemd to 240-1, which caused the initramfs for 
linux-image-4.19.0-1-amd64 to be rebuilt to include systemd 240-1 and be 
unbootable, so I booted linux-image-4.18.0-3-amd64 and made the bug 
report. The system information gathered by reportbug is misleading 
because it implies that problem was observed with 4.18.20-2, the running 
kernel at the time of the report, which is not the kernel running when 
the failure was observed. My remark was only to correct this misinformation.

Kind regards,
