By default agetty will not display /run/issue.d/ if /etc/issue exists.
This is quite unfortunate and has actually been fixed upstream in:
508fb0e7ac
However, no release has been tagged with this yet, and it doesn't look
like this will happen any time soon. Hence, for now, let's add a
work-around and manually override the issue files to include.
This should be reverted once a new util-linux/agetty release has been
tagged, and found its way into the relevant distributions. Given this is
mostly about cosmetics we do not have to precisely sync the package
updates on this, but only roughly.
The need for -o was introduced in db6aeda to set the -p flag for login.
Setting -o overrides agettys built-in handling of arguments, so "-- \\u" was needed to mimic it.
This broke the autologin-feature, since the -f (noauth) flag is not passed to login [1].
But with 3d2157e, the -p flag is dropped, but the full change wasn't reverted,
leaving autologin still broken - But for no reason since agetty does the right thing.

This flag was added in db6aedab92 with the justification that locale
environment variables should be preserved by the user session. However,
the companion patch to drop the UnsetEnvironment= directive blocking
these variables was never merged, so the intended change was never
effected.
While the patch was ineffective toward its stated goal, the "-p" option
does have material negative consequences for the user session in
systemd — environment variables to support the use of
credentials and memory pressure directives, such as
$CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY and $MEMORY_PRESSURE_WATCH, which are now
directly used by agetty and login, get leaked into the user session
potentially breaking applications that rely on these values.
E.g. systemd-ask-password fails from the tty when $CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY
has been leaked from agetty, because it expects to be able to access
credentials in $CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY.
This effectively reverts db6aedab92.

Let's always rely on our own TTY reset logic and tty disallocation/clear
screen logic, thus always pass --noclear and --noreset.
Also, bring the list of baud rates to try into sync for console-getty
and serial-getty (the former might or might not be connected to rs232,
we can't know, hence assume the worst, and copy what
serial-getty@.service does)
In it's latest release, agetty will support reading the agetty.autologin
and login.noauth credentials, so let's make sure we import those in our
getty units so they're available to agetty to read.
Those two units had this ordering conditionalized on HAVE_SYSV_COMPAT. This
seems strange. 45e2753297 added the ordering
differently for those two files without any comment, and I think it was just
pasted or scripted erroneously.
Let's remove the baud settings for the container getty units since
they don't have any effect there anyway. On top of that, when we're
dealing with container TTYs, we can handle all the setup involved
ourselves so let's prevent agetty/login from touching the container
tty at all.
One example where this helps is that it actually makes disabling
TTYVHangup have an effect since before, login would unconditionally
call vhangup() on the tty.
If the tty arg is set to "-", agetty uses the stdin fd as the tty.
Let's pass the tty this way so that we keep an fd open to the tty
at all times. If all fd's to a tty are closed, the kernel might
reset the tty which we want to avoid.
We don't need two (and half) templating systems anymore, yay!
I'm keeping the changes minimal, to make the diff manageable. Some enhancements
due to a better templating system might be possible in the future.
