Yes, true.

As far as I understand, systemd will automatically decide the value of
$TERM depending on the type of tty it is spawning on, see:
   
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/ccf22d4a104e6ed2666d6c5b4031981a84787790#diff-6af423bac2f70681895dc996361e6022

Also, we use the getty services orvided by Systemd as-is; we do not
provide our own, so we rely on systemd's behaviour here.

Now, maybe you could try to add an "Environement=TERM=blabla" directive
in /lib/systemd/system/getty at .service and see if that works.

If that works, we can see to come up with a way to do it.

Similarly for the getty options...

In the meantime, the by-far simplest solutiokn is to hide the options
from the menuconfig when usign systemd! ;-)

Yann E. MORIN.
