[opensuse-support] what mechanism makes the preface to a vtty login prompt exist?

Google can't seem to point me to an answer. I did a fresh install of TW a month ago, 20201111 IIRC. On it the vtty prompts are naked, nothing but the prompt on the top line. /etc/issue.net exists, but /etc/issue does not, even after upgrade to 20201214. What else is missing? -- Evolution as taught in public schools, like religion, is based on faith, not on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!
