We should get sign off on this from the ubuntu-devel mailing list before making this change, as it changes behaviour. The new behaviour makes sense, as there does not seem to be an advantage to blanking the screen like this, but there might be some people who object

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.
