Mgetty will do it almost automagically. You have to edit
/etc/mgetty/<forgot_the_filename> to tell it which composrt to use.
Then enable it in /etc/inittab and you are done.
When I did this some time ago it was just uncommenting a few lines and
it was running perfectly.

There is a programm which does something similar (forgot the name -
ringd or such). There is no debian package AFAIK. Check
www.freshmeat.net or www.linuxnow.com about it.
