* debian/conffiles.d/config: Disable automatic virtual console screen blank
- Don't blank screen on virtual consoles, because most systems running
without X are headless and when they are connected to a monitor for
debugging the screen should not be blank

Title:
Ubuntu server enables screenblanking, concealing crashdumps (DPMS is
not used)
Status in kbd package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
James Rice of Jump Networks noticed that there is a screen-blanker
enabled on Ubuntu Server.
James notes that this blanking is not enabling DPMS power saving
(thereby negating any power-saving benefit), and is simply turning the
screen content blank. This means that the crash output is invisible
which is unhelpful on a server (virtual or otherwise).
Ideally the screen should (at a minimum) be turned on and unblanked at
the point of an OOPs/crash being printed.
