My point was more that a similar issue should happen when installing in LPAR. LPAR
uses the line mode style console which is ttyS0 for the console but sclp_line0 for the
tty. How does the debian installer handle this?

Regarding your patch I fear that this patch would break existing setups so we cannot
use it as is.
