Comment:

 progress report:

 > 1. ~~document the workaround in the ganeti installer~~ (done, in
 ​ganeti, will need to be reverted when the package is fixed)
 > 2. ~~ship the new package in Debian~~, get it to stable (in progress:
 NUM's to bullseye, blocked on release managers, see
 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=944538 )
 > 3. fix the hetzner-cloud installer ~~or at least add a node to check
 it~~ could not figure out what is wrong with that installer, so I just
 added a note in the install procedure
 > 4. ~~check the other installers~~ the "robot", "linaro" and "ganeti
 procedures have been confirmed as checked and fixed. the "cloud" procedure
 is still unclear but has been documented.

 i think this ticket can be closed. mitigations are in place and
 workarounds will either expire with the bullseye release or show up in the
 next install but are flagged in the procedures.
