I knew what I did, but feel free to disagree with my reasoning.
fgetty-login.diff essentially just renames /bin/login1 to /bin/fgetty-login.
I find it confusing, when binaries are renamed. Either way, /bin/login{1,2}
are never invoked directly, so I considered installing them into /lib/fgetty.
It would eliminate need in manpage, which is barely useful. WDYT?
ro-dev.diff demotes chown/chmod error, if it is caused by read-only
/dev. I do not understand why anyone would want it, /dev is rw by
default Debian installation. Yes, just tried, `getty' from util-linux
issues warning, not error in case of ro /dev, but can anyone explain me
why it is good thing?

Right.

3 of 4 binaries are statically linked with no debug information. So
the only debug symbols for checkpassword(1). Since `$(wc -l
checkpassword.c) = 93` I see little use of debug package.

Sure. Will do better next time.
