Isn't it mingetty that's used to print the message?
I thought that stuff was just for formatting what's in /etc/issue?

I had nothing better to do :) Perhaps this could be useful. I tested it and
it seemed to work, but as always, no guarantees. It adds an option
--no-hostname to mingetty
There's a lot more one could do to this program. As for instance do away with
some of the hardcoded values (do non-english speaking people really want
'login'?). If it is of interest I may just do it.
