I'll provide my 2c.

Hirsute (21.04) ISO is already released & development completed.  Only
security fixes are now being performed on the now stable 21.04 system,
which does not include this issue (as this issue relates to the ISO
itself, and re-spins are only done for LTS releases, ie. next ISO will
likely be 20.04.3 or a respin of focal, then impish/21.10 though that's
likely not a complete list)

If this issue matters, I'd test using the impish (21.10) ISO and report
on the QA testing site, even filing a new bug (referencing back to this
one yes, but start a new bug). Even if the report is marked duplicate of
this, it'll increase heat & gain more detail/attention.  This issue was
reported only once on the QA-tracker for hirsute
(http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/bugs/1922342) which
indicates it wasn't a very important issue. Yes I may have included
myself too, had the bug report been about speed, but it was "not
booting" at the time, where my QA-test booted so I didn't link to this.

As for the new installer; the boot process occurs before the installer
is started.  Yes there is a `maybe-ubiquity` kernel parameter but the
system is booted prior to ubiquity running.. so I'd suggest not waiting
for the new installer, but test with `impish` now giving developers the
most time possible to address if they're able.

If you look at testing done so far in 'impish' you'll note well more
than 100 QA-tests have been performed
(http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/testers) so it's not too
early.
