#675162, #675197 and #675239 (all due the way #673207 was fixed) and a test 
install of the initscripts from experimental (which prompted be for changes in 
/e/d/rcS despite not having changed it, IIRC) made me change my mind; I have 
now reverted the sourcing of /etc/default/rcS for the FANCYTTY variable in the 
4.1+Debian6 upload.

Sorry for the mess,
