I suppose we need a news item for this so here is a draft:
[draft] Transition from vc/* to tty* standard
With the update to initscripts-2009.07, we are transitioning from the old vc/* style devices to the current standard of tty*. This transition involves updates to the filesystem, initscripts, syslog-ng and udev packages. As always, users should update all packages at the same time rather than individual packages.
The initscripts update requires adjusting the /etc/inittab file to refer to tty* instead of vc/*. Due to severe system breakages if this file is not updated, this will be automatically handled by pacman. The original /etc/inittab file is saved as /etc/inittab.pacsave. However, it is important that all users check the changes made to this file (and even better, completely merge the .pacnew file). [/draft]
