Based on that idea, I have implemented a sourcing of /etc/default/rcS
for FANCYTTY that keeps the rest of the environment untouched (as
proposed by Stanislav):

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/odyx-guest/lsb.git;a=commit;h=ce9dcce

The reason to not alter the environment is that /lib/lsb/init-functions
is sourced by all sorts of init scripts and I don't want to risk
uncontrolled breakage.

So this bug is now "pending". Roger: do you need more input from my side
to allow FANCYTTY in /etc/default/rcS in initscripts ?

Cheers,

OdyX
