Title:
  Ubuntu Server edition does not recognize serial console during
  installation

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Server edition can install a system on a headless device but at
  no point during the installation does it ask whether the server should
  be set to actually use the console (com0:) in the future.  Since many
  servers are headless, there should be an option to activate the
  console.  The installer should detect whether or not the installation
  is done over serial connection and then base the default settings on
  the speed and other values used during the installation.
