I use agetty. I like it that the screen is not cleared by default. Use the /etc/issue file if you want to muck with the screen. Use your .bash_logout if you want to clear the screen as you logout. If my idea of a useful default is different from yours, then let us each have her way with a configurable file. Don't cripple either of us by hardcoding the "better" default into the .deb file.
