Nope.  Just the general comment that in SuSe, startpar was invoked
after /dev/pts was mounted, and they thus did not have this problem.
They do not use parts for rc.boot (which debian strangely calls rcS),
and thus do not need to run startpar that early. :)

Not really.  I added it to make it clear which parts of the patch was
relevant for the getpt() hack.

Happy hacking,
