Title:
  getty should be started automatically on serial port when serial
  console is set on kernel command line

Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: upstart

  If a user passes console=ttySXXX on the kernel commandline to get a
  serial console, they will see the boot happen on the serial port, but
  not be given a chance to login on the serial port.

  We should ship an upstart job that starts a getty on the serial
  console in this case.
