Not in the slightest. I'd be interested to know why my system is
different, as well. (I've seen other systems that do behave differently
- - a live-CD-like environment we use at work which is apparently based on
SuSE, most prominently - but pretty much every Debian install I've ever
done has had that behavior, as far as I recall.)

That still happens for me, actually, it just doesn't "resize" the
display in the process.

Nope:
$ cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.14-1-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/vg_system-lv_root ro quiet

The line is present, but commented out.

console-setup is installed. I'm not sure what configuration files it
uses, but I've checked the ones I can find from 'man setupcon', and the
only lines which look like they might be related to this are commented
out.
Maybe it's got something to do with the way I install Debian? I don't
quite follow the normal installer defaults 100%; I do partitioning
manually, and I disable all tasks except for the base system, then
install everything I need (including X) separately afterwards.
