Don't ask why this is important for me, but today I updated to the latest #Debian testing and the VTs disappeared. To fix I had to manually run "systemd enable [email protected]" to get another VT back.

Looks like there's a bug tracking this: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1129276

#1129276 - systemd: Getty not started after upgrade to 260~rc1 - Debian Bug report logs

@brettk I don't know what's happened for you (or maybe it's my Debian box), but I still have access to all the tty screens I ever did.

PS. Ooops, missed "testing." I'll get round to it at some point in this Debian round.
