Yeah, but it has uncleanlinesses of its own (like the need to generate a config
file on the fly), but it's cleaner than what I have now.

My major problem with it is that attaching consoles to ports will stop working
for some number of users if I switch to termnetd, and I'm willing to put up
with some amount of nastiness inside UML if it increases the size of the 
userbase that UML works for out of the box.

That concern would be somewhat assuaged if UML were generally installed with
packages that could be made to depend on termpkg, but I think that's not the
case.
