#375275: getty: cursor state not reset

[Chris Hofstaedtler]

Control: reassign -1 systemd

Hi,

this bug is about various terminal settings not being reset on tty1
(usually a Linux VC). Maybe also about other things, please see the
original bug message.

I am reassigning this to systemd based on:

1) util-linux agetty nowadays allows --init-string also on Linux
Virtual Consoles. That appears to be a valid option to have a
"reproducible" console. See [1] for slightly more info.

2) systemd provides getty at .service, which controls agetty startup.
This unit also specifies --noclear, which might be related.

Considering this, I believe util-linux agetty is not in the position
to make the requested change, and probably also SHOULD not (it is
not setting up the console in the first place).

If this change should happen, it can (and IMO should) by shipping
a modified getty at .service. Or, users can locally override it if they
desire the change, but if Debian does not.

BR,
Chris
