Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-services

Hello,

I installed Xubuntu 8.04 because I wanted a small memory consumption on a travel laptop.

I saw that the /etc/event.d file directory defines too many virtual consoles by default.

I deleted the files tty3, tty4, tty5 and tty6 in this directory in order to make my box lighter.

Could you please ensure there aren't too many consoles by default, especially for Xubuntu ?

For example, why not splitting this package into 2 packages:
- system-services-core
- system-services-extended

The Ubuntu distro would make its meta-package(s) depend on system-services-extended (which itself would depend on system-services-core).

The Xubuntu distro would make its meta-package(s) depend on system-services-core only.

Thanks.

Regards.

There is almost no memory overheard for those getty processes, it is largely shared between them.
