From what I see on my own system, /etc/inittab is installed by the
sysvinit package. From sysvinit.postinst:
if [ ! -f /etc/inittab ]
then
cp -p /usr/share/sysvinit/inittab /etc/inittab
fi
So, the file to change should then be /usr/share/sysvinit/inittab.
...and this bug should then be reassigned to sysvinit.
What I don't understand is that #221290 is closed and was closed by an
upload of util-linux (which provides getty).
