Console on /dev/ttyS0 should be happening anyway with the udev rules we
have I believe.  I could see making this a little bit more tweakable in
general and new upstart may help there

It's not a lot at all, and it actually more seems to me like things that
we should be able to handle pretty easily and then be down one more
forked package :)
