Bug#966414: general: After upgrade to testing, VT1 is no longer usuable



Package: general
Severity: normal

I upgraded from Debian Stable to Testing some days ago (see #964477
for some information why this was not entirely smooth). I did not
upgrade the kernel.

Now the virtual terminal 1 is no longer usuable. It only prints the
very few lines of the boot process and some more lines when shutting
down. 

After boot I see:
/dev/mapper/samd--vg-root: clean, 571317/1020000 files, 3545957/4077568 blocks
[    3.477202] Error: Driver 'pcspkr' is already registered, aborting...
[    3.854191] DVB: Unable to find symbol simple_tuner_attach()

X is running on VT 7, so this is not the cause (and it does so for
many years already).

I'm not sure which other programm could "lock" VT1.  

In http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html I read that X should 
start on VT1? Maybe systemd is no confused?

I see that there is a
/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service ->
/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service
file, but this link is from 2016 and the file under /lib does not
indicate any special handling of VT1 (however, it might explain why in
#964477 the prompts where not localized).

It would be great to have VT1 again ususable and to see all boot
messages there, just if I need them (there are in the logs, of course
as well, so this is not too important but very nice).
