Thanks a lot for your report.  Init systems seem to be kbd’s greatest
enemy :-)

May I ask you to apply the attached patch to your local copy of
/etc/init.d/kbd and confirm that it works?  The solution isn’t perfect
since it’s theoretically possible that gettys are started from files
other than /etc/init/tty*.conf, but I guess it is good enough for most
cases.

Cheers,
