This seems reasonable. I am running it on all my boxes here without problem. I did the 0.9.4-3.1 NMU libc6 compile, but I didn't check at the time if it were still the latest version -- it may not be. Also, lintian has two errors with it (manpage not compressed, old-fsf-address) but there are no bugs filed. It doesn't include the debian changelog in /usr/doc/mingetty, either (lintian doesn't seem to notice?). I may do another upload to fix these.
