Hello Bastian Blank. Thanks for your bug report, and sorry for the late reply....

I would like to consider this a problem that s390* porters should work out together with upstream. (Feel free to poke me once this is sorted out upstream if you consider backporting it urgent enough to not wait for next upstream stable release.) It's in my opinion a new feature since sulogin has as far as I know never supported anything but non-dumb terminals. Either way I doubt this would be considered a release blocker by the release team if there genuinely is noone willing to fix this. If you disagree, please ask their opinion and quote it here. I'm thus tagging and adjusting severity accordingly. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
