The difference is that the original code was called by debian-installer
and the new code is called in sbin/init, which has a different
context.
Can the following sbin/init code be moved to
lib/debian-installer.d/S30term?
if [ $TERM_TYPE = "serial" ]; then
for i in 2 3 4 5; do
rm -f /dev/vc/$i
done
fi
This seems to solve the detection problem for me.
Do you really need to delete the extra vc devices?
