Bug#718416: general: tty1 is cleared at boot, obscuring a screenfull of important boot messages

[Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.de>]

Package: general
Severity: normal

Ever since, I think, wheezy, tty1 is cleared at boot like tty2-6 are.
This is bad because it obscures the last screenfull of bootmessages,
at least 25 lines, but with framebugger console, a lot(!) more, which
is very bad.

I’ve got no idea which package is responsible for this change, hence
filing against general. Please help by reassigning to the correct
package and Cc’ing its maintainers (see #704984 for why this needs
to be done manually currently).

Thanks!
