Package: linuxlogo
Version: 5.11-8
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
when using /etc/issue.linuxlogo or /etc/issue.linuxlogo.ascii with getty
as described in /usr/share/doc/linuxlogo/README.Debian, backslashes in
the logo don't get escaped and hence get stripped or misinterpreted by
getty as escape sequences.
This doesn't show up with the default banner or any of the Debian logos,
but it does happen with "ubuntu" as well as the "raspi" logo. Both are
probably common with Debian derivatives, but since Debian also runs on
the Raspberry Pi directly, the "raspi" banner is definitely on-topic for
a Debian package and not just a downstream issue.
Currently the "raspi" and "ubuntu" logo look like this when shown by
getty:

The issue happens with both, systemd as well as sysvrc as init system
and the patch works in both cases, at least currently.
