Dear release team,
I'm opening a bug as suggested by KiBi.
I would like to close bug #181756, which contains a patch that I forward
ported to Sid last summer, and uploaded in sysvinit 2.88dsf-53.4. The
patch is available here (in the bug report):
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=51;filename=allow-multiple-console-output.patch;att=1;bug=181756
This patch is important because if you use a server, you may want to activate
serial console boot log. It is also very important for cloud computing. For
example, with OpenStack, bootlogd must log on both tty0 and ttyS0 to have both
"nova console-log" and the interactive web terminal to work. Otherwise, it is
always the last console= argument on the command line that is in use.
Nobody reported any issue since my upload to Sid on the 24th of August. I also
tested the patch in Wheezy on a Xen VPS, and using OpenStack on virtual machine
instances. Both ran without any issue.
If the release team agree that I add the patch to the Wheezy version of
bootlogd, then I will prepare a package and send links to both the package
itself, and the debdiff for pre-approval, before uploading to stable p-u.
Please let me know your thoughts about this,
Cheers,
Thomas Goirand (zigo)

To me this description sounds more feature-ish than a critical bugfix,
so I'm inclined to say no, sorry. Also, please always include tested
debdiffs in p-u requests, it's much easier not to have to fish for
external resources when dealing with them.
Cheers,
Julien
