Considering that this is a regression, with major impact (TTY login no
longer possible, often no graphical login either), many affected users
on (amongst other) the latest LTS release, and both this fact and how to
fix it has been known since at least January 30, I am puzzled as to why
this is being handled as an update with the default stable release
cadence.

Could you kindly explain the following (since I may just be misunderstanding 
how things are handled):
Was rolling back the breaking (since incomplete) patchset (which introduced 
this issue) not an option?
Has testing on 18.04 and 16.04 brought up new problems, which would have had 
even more serious impact?
How is "importance" calculated (personally I would have set it to "critical" or 
"major", if those are available)?

Thanks.
