Hello Anton, thanks for explaining and for your intellectual honesty
(which is always appreciated!).

I can understand and even sympathize with your position.
I am no systemd enthusiast either, even though I must admit that it
does have some advantages over sysvinit.

Nonetheless, systemd is the current default init system in Debian,
hence we have to learn how to live with it (or otherwise find a better
alternative and persuade the Debian Project to switch to it as
default...).

OK, but perhaps there are better ways to express this than silently
waiting for someone to come to the rescue...   ;-)

One possible way is adding the "help" tag to this bug report.
I see [1] that there are currently 3 bug reports for console-setup
which are tagged "help" and haven't received much help yet.
So, maybe, the "help" tag is not too effective...

Have you considered the possibility to (also) file a RFH bug report
against wnpp [2] for console-setup?

[1] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=help&pend-exc=pending-fixed&pend-exc=fixed&pend-exc=done&src=console-setup
[2] https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/ (as you sure already know)


I hope a good fix for the issue may be found soon.
Bye.
