Bug#770755: systemd: debug shell unusable due to continuous systemd output

[Vincent Danjean]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-5+b1
Severity: normal

  Hi,

  I enabled systemd debug-shell service on several machines. However,
each time I needed it (for example to fix a problem with mounted points,
see #760848 for an specific example), the timeout output of systemd before
going to emergency mode forbid me to use the shell.
  systemd output should not go continously on a used terminal (such as the
one used by debug-shell in particular).

  Regards,
   Vincent
