Ubuntu 9.04 in an OpenVZ VE - Respawning Getty Process

Upgrading an OpenVZ VE to Ubuntu 9.04 introduces the system-services package. This runs getty services through the configuration files /etc/event.d/tty[1-6]. The six getty processes are continuously be respawned. This isn’t a major issue, but adds significant noise to /var/log/syslog. Purging the system-services package fixes the issue, and does not introduce any negative side-effects.
