well.. - maybe you can tell me how to find out who's responsible
for that bug... - I certainly don't know... :-((
If I'd know where to file a bug report I would've already filed

I don't know which utility normally makes these modifications but I
know that the last stable version of debian worked on alpha using
a serial console so I hink it was implemented correctly there.

I hope so. - I can't promise to help you though because I don't have
much time at the moment and still have a few other things to fix and don't
have very much time to invest into this issue, but I'll try to be
