I will not close it right now, to give a second pair of eyes time to comment or take action. Regards, Salvatore

OK, I forwarded this upstream here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=209421 Thanks, Asher -- The marvels of today's modern technology include the development of a soda can, when discarded will last forever ... and a $7,000 car which when properly cared for will rust out in two or three years.

Yeah, I'm also bitten by this for my day-to-day workflows, but unfortunately this was removed upstream, this is not a Debian-specific patch, so this needs to be fixed upstream, before it becomes available in Debian again.

Package: src:linux Version: 5.8.10-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: Asher Gordon Dear Maintainer, After upgrading to linux-image-5.8.0-2, I noticed that scrollback is no longer available in the console. A quick look at the changelog ('apt changelog linux-image-amd64') indicates that this was done to fix CVE-2020-14390. Surely however, there must be a better way to fix this than simply removing this code entirely? It is pretty annoying not having scrollback, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like scrollback replaced.
