Related to that, there is - systemd: Please enable systemd-vconsole https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=803970 - console setup integration https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=608457 And https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/-/blob/debian/master/debian/patches/debian/Use-Debian-specific-config-files.patch Ideally, I would want us to move to the native, systemd config files for /etc/locale.conf and also /etc/vconsole.conf This would need someone, pushing that change forward. For the time being, it probably makes sense, if the vconsole part of localed becomes a noop or is changed to write to /etc/default/console-setup. The latter is preferrable, but requires a more elaborate patch. If we simply make those functions a nop, we should at least log a warning message though (and maybe return an error), so users of localed will notice, that changing those settings has no effect. Would you be interested in working on that? Michael
