Sorry, but using /usr/bin/clear_console is a no-go for me. It's
shipped in the package "bash" and would add a dependency on bash, at
least an implicit one.

Bash is currently in the essential set, but there are long-time
endeavours to make bash non-essential:
https://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/RemoveBashFromEssential

So I won't add anything which adds a dependency on bash in the binary
packages. (I don't mind build-dependencies.)
