If try to remove console-setup, and accept the default to install
console-setup-mini, I get this:
# pstree -ap 17906
aptitude,17906 purge console-setup
├─dpkg,18150 --status-fd 32 --configure console-setup-mini
│ └─frontend,18151 -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend...
│ └─console-setup-m,18320 ...
│ └─plymouth,18365 --ping
└─{aptitude},17907
So this hangs in plymouth too. Maybe plymouth shouldn't be involved in
a serial/hvc0 console setup?
I can kill 18365, and the install continues, however I'm unsure as to
what state this leaves the system.
