Hi,
How is this, then? A single short paragraph, with a link to more
detailed instructions on the wiki.
As well as the attached, I opened
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/installation-guide/-/merge_requests/15
on salsa.
Regards,
Matthew

Subject: [PATCH] Short note on installing alternative inits (Closes: #992034)
Discussion on the BTS apropos this bug / !14 suggests that a shorter
note with a link to more detailed discussion on the wiki would be more
agreeable. To that end, I've made this MR, which is a single brief
paragraph.
