James Rice of Jump Networks noticed that there is a screen-blanker
enabled on Ubuntu Server.

James notes that this blanking is not enabling DPMS power saving
(thereby negating any power-saving benefit), and is simply turning the
screen content blank.   This means that the crash output is invisible
which is unhelpful on a server (virtual or otherwise).

Ideally the screen should (at a minimum) be turned on and unblanked at
the point of an OOPs/crash being printed.
