Package: openstack-cluster-installer
Version: 42.2.1~bpo11+1
(Using osbpo.debian.net archive on bullseye)
When booting the live image built using
openstack-cluster-installer-build-live-image, agetty fails to autologin
and does not present any login prompt at all.
Checking the service status shows it's trying to autlogin as 'user',
which I believe is the default set by live-build:
root@Not Specified>_ ~ # systemctl status getty@tty1.service
● getty@tty1.service - Getty on tty1
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service; enabled; vendor

/etc/systemd/system/getty@.service.d/root-autologin.conf:1: Assignment outside
of section. Ignoring.
The logs above also indicate systemd is unhappy with the format of
root-autologin.conf
I haven't tested against any versions of Debian except bullseye, however
the attached patch fixes the problem for me and looks correct as per
systemd documentation.
Cheers
