Arguably that bug should be severity important.

Basically users end up with an unusable 'rescue' boot menu option if
they chose not to set a root password during install.
See #977358 for a thorough explanation and workarounds (one being
editing the kernel command line, which kind of defeats the purpose of
having the menu entry in the first place).
Bug#977358: release-notes: document how to make the rescue mode usable if no
root password is set (buster)
("rescue mode" should probably have been "rescue boot entry", to avoid
confusion with D-Is rescue mode)
Kind regards,
Andrei
