vtmaster was /dev/tty0 in 2.2.x, changed to /dev/vc/0 probably
because of devfs. I would tend to agree with the change of at least
this part.
A few apps do rely on /proc/tty/drivers for the major-minor
to device name mapping. /dev/vc/0 does not exist (unless
created manually) without devfs.
This is why I questioned if /proc/tty was really in use, it contains
an entry that is obviously wrong for my system.
