Comment # 1 on bug 1168405 from Felix Miata (offline until ???)

Priority here apparently needs escalation:

I installed 20201111 fresh on Intel 32bit. Upgrading several times has produced
no change. Current is 20201215. No content from *issue* is being displayed on
the vttys. All that appears on the empty screens is a 9 character login prompt
and a trailing space. /etc/issue is absent. /etc/issue.net is present.
/usr/lib/issue.d/ appears to contain in 10-opensuse.conf the content /etc/issue
used to contain. Remote login prompt continues to behave as expected.
