I see release notes as something that should be meaningful during the
the release's lifetime? I would rather see that issue documented in
installer's errata instead, as that's something we expect to be fixed
“soon”?

  
https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/blob/master/english/devel/debian-installer/errata.wml

I've just double checked the effects of the patch and I'll send a
separate update, as a follow-up to the initial patch proposal.

This apparently wasn't uploaded, so it's to late for the initial buster
release. Does it make any sense to mention this in the release notes? I
tend to say it doesn't, but will do it nevertheless when others think it
does.
