I will play with those settings and report back then. Please note next week i
will be away from keyboard.

Now that you ask i can not exactly tell when this started. I only noticed it
lately when i had to install/remove some services for testing.
Just for completeness after submitting this bugreport i
'rm /lib/lsb/init-functions.d/20-left-info-blocks' and put back an old modified
ubuntu '/etc/lsb-base-logging.sh' i used for years.
As you can see also with this it shuffles boot messages around.

At least i do not know which capabilities my console has nor how to change them.
This is plain 'console-setup' or whatever is used today (i have a i915 with kms
though).

No file-rc here.
