It is certainly getting complex, but the current setup is not

Even if you take away the "I always want getty on tty1" pref, how do
you handle the case when the display manager is not gdm? Just have
nothing running on tty1? Because, init currently will not start a
getty on tty1 in runlevel 5 in any situation.

You mean the `telinit 3' from runlevel 5 case? I'm not following exactly.
Further testing with this is giving me some bizarre errors and hangs
relating to VT switching that don't happen with this patchset backed
out. Unless I can track those down, I can't really recommend using
it.
