With the graphical target active, getty used to be started on demand on
virtual consoles 1 to 6. This was quite useful for debugging problems
with the graphical session : with gdm started on tty1 and a GNOME
session on tty2 I could then switch to tty3 and login from there.

This is no longer case and it seems to be related to this entry in the
systemd 260~rc1 changelog:
* [email protected] gained an [Install] and must now be explicitly enabled
  to be active.

So one now has to run "systemctl enable [email protected] && systemctl
daemon-reload" to get the same functionality.



I think the proper solution is to run
`systemctl enable [email protected]` in systemd.postinst.

This will create a [email protected][email protected] symlink thus and re-enable autospawning of gettys.
