man/systemd-getty-generator fix/update
* Containers don't use serial-getty@console.service, they use console-getty.service instead, and suppress scanning for kernel or virtualizer consoles. * Nowadays gettys are started on *all* configured kernel consoles. * except for the line printer console, because that's not a tty. (Seriously. Search CONFIG_LP_CONSOLE).
