Josselin, you seem to have added this patch in 3.12.2-2.1 as part of
"Reinstate patches for better VT management", without a bug number.
Could you please describe what behaviour you were aiming for with this,
or point to an upstream or Debian bug where it's described?

It looks as though https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=580630
might be related.

Ideally, I'd like to make autologin work while still keeping whatever
improvement to VT management you intended, but I can't do that without
understanding the goal of those patches.

Failing that, we'll have to work out which feature is more important.
