Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xen-tools

When feisty changed /etc/sh away from being equivalent to /bin/bash, the
hooks in /usr/lib/xen-tools/edgy.d (and maybe others) broke.
Specifically, 30-disable-gettys started performing exactly the opposite
as expected on this line:

rm ${prefix}/etc/event.d/tty[^1]


... rather than removing tty2 -> tty6, it now removes tty1 and leaves the 
others behind. The end result is no functional console in the domU.

Changing the shell of the script to /bin/bash is one obvious fix.
Another would be to be more explicit (e.g. rm
${prefix}/etc/event.d/tty[23456])
