Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: debian-installer

I installed Feisty from a USB stick using the 2007-03-20 netboot image
and the "server" target over a serial console on ttyS1.

The install went fine, but after rebooting, getty was not running on
ttyS1.  The installer created an /etc/event.d/ttyS1 file, but its form
didn't match the other tty* files.  Here's the file that the installer
created:

---

# ttyS1 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on ttyS1 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

start on runlevel-2
start on runlevel-3
start on runlevel-4
start on runlevel-5

stop on shutdown

respawn /sbin/getty -L ttyS1 115200 vt102

---

I changed it to match the other tty* files:

---

# ttyS1 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on ttyS1 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

start on runlevel 2
start on runlevel 3
start on runlevel 4
start on runlevel 5

stop on runlevel 0
stop on runlevel 1
stop on runlevel 6

respawn
exec /sbin/getty -L ttyS1 115200 vt102

---

and now ttyS1 is running a login prompt.
