Apparently, there is an error in the testing/unstable console-common
packages. I tried installing console-common from stable, testing and
unstable and ony the stable package worked!
Other people (i think i saw it also in the german and french user lists)
have been reporting this problem too. So it could happen to you if your
upgrade your console-common package.
For the other problem (messages to console despite KLOGD="-c 3") i
haven't found a sollution yet
