Public bug reported:

[Impact]

 * When launching "Install Ubuntu" or when present with try or install
ubuntu screen, one cannot login on tty2-6.

 * This impacts debugging facilities during installation.

 * It appears that getty.target is not required by ubiquity, therefore
gettys on tty2-6 are not spawned, and no users are allowed to login.

[Test Case]

 * Boot Ubuntu Desktop CD

 * Select "Install Ubuntu" in the isolinux menu, or the UEFI menu

 * When presented with ubiquity screen, press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to open up
tty2

 * Login as user "ubuntu" with no password. If login prompt never
appears (current behaviour) this bug is still present.

[Regression Potential]

 * I have not tested this change in the OEM mode yet

[Potential fix]
 * Add to ubiquity.service [Unit] section
