Thanks to systemd, I've had to update my setterm invocation in
/etc/rc.local to the following:
setterm --term linux --blank 0 --powerdown 0 >/dev/console
("--powersave off" fails with an "Inappropriate ioctl" error because
rc.local no longer runs directly on the Linux virtual console.)

Bug description:
Binary package hint: kbd
This concerns kbd 1.14.1-4ubuntu4 in Ubuntu Jaunty.
I am setting up a text-mode-only server that will normally run
headless. I want to disable console blanking, so that in the event of
a kernel panic, I can attach a monitor and read the stack trace. So I
make the following edits to /etc/kbd/config:
* Set BLANK_TIME=0
* Set BLANK_DPMS=on
* Set POWERDOWN_TIME=0
And still, the console blanks after about twenty minutes or so (not
that I timed it). It shouldn't even be necessary to make all three of
these changes---I believe setting BLANK_TIME=0 alone should do the
trick---but it underscores the point that console blanking cannot be
disabled here.
