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.
