We currently still use the old securetty tool to patch those
terminals
into /etc/securetty on demand. I have submitted a patch to pam_securetty
however, to make it look for console= on the kernel cmdline internally,
which when merged allows us to get rid of the tool and have this work on
r/o root fine as well.
Please don't do that. Not all serial consoles are necessarily secure.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
