Thanks Lothar for your contribution. Your patch has already been
committed, so I hadn't had the time to give my opinion.

My opinion is quite different than the one from Yann and Peter however:
I believe your customization of the ctrl-alt-del behavior is really a
detail, which can very easily be overridden in a post-build script and
therefore does not deserve an additional Config.in option. If we start
adding Config.in options for every possible customization of the
inittab, we will have gazillions of options to solve very specific use
cases.

Best regards,

Thomas
