My above report of bug 444 was inaccurate, sorry for that.

(4) /sbin/agetty is included in Devuan Beowulf.
(5) /usr/share/doc/openrc/agetty-guide.md in Devuan Beowulf says:

**********
The agetty service is an OpenRC specific way to monitor and respawn a getty, using agetty, on Linux. To use this method, make sure you aren't spawning a getty manager for this port some other way (such as through sysvinit/inittab), then run the following commands as root.

Note that [port] refers to the port you are spawning the getty on, for example, tty1 or ttyS0. The full path to it, for example, /dev/tty1 should not be used.

# cd /etc/init.d
# ln -s agetty agetty.[port]
# cd /etc/conf.d
# cp agetty agetty.[port]
#rc-update add agetty.[port] [runlevel]
**********

The problem in Devuan openrc package is that it excludes
/etc/init.d/agetty and /etc/conf.d/agetty provided at
https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/blob/master/init.d/agetty.in
https://github.com/OpenRC/openrc/blob/master/conf.d/agetty

Users cannot follow instructions in /usr/share/doc/openrc/agetty-guide.md in Devuan Beowulf.
