There are other units that use getty.  OE's systemd has a patch to use 
getty not agetty but for some reason console-getty is not one of the 
units patched (maybe the unit was created after the patch was made); 
that probably needs to be reviewed.  There is at least one other oe-core 
provider of getty (viz. mingetty); at one point it was important to use 
one of them (I forget which) on gumstix Overo boards.
