Comment 3 for bug 1400393

Yeah, so init script from console-setup does

" if expr "$(fgconsole 2>/dev/null || true)" : '[1-6]$' >/dev/null && \
    (! type plymouth >/dev/null || ! plymouth --ping); then
     log_action_begin_msg "Setting up console font and keymap""

the fgconsole check makes it bail out when running on vt7, which init does...

under upstart it has an upstart specific job which is why it works there
