[Bug 1579793] [NEW] Serial console not properly set up for systemd

[Matthew L. Dailey]

Public bug reported:

If installation is done over a serial console, finish-
install.d/90console has traditionally detected this and, since upstart,
has written out a file at, for example, /etc/init/ttyS0.conf to invoke a
serial getty after boot. This script has not been updated for systemd,
so the upstart init script is still written but ignored by systemd,
resulting in no serial console.

This is simple to fix after boot (http://0pointer.de/blog/projects
/serial-console.html), but ideally, this should get set during
90console.

Thanks and please let me know if I can provide any other information.
