Package: src:linux
Version: 5.8.10-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: Asher Gordon <AsDaGo@posteo.net>

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading to linux-image-5.8.0-2, I noticed that scrollback is no
longer available in the console. A quick look at the changelog
('apt changelog linux-image-amd64') indicates that this was done to fix
CVE-2020-14390. Surely however, there must be a better way to fix this
than simply removing this code entirely?

It is pretty annoying not having scrollback, and I'm sure I'm not the
only one who would like scrollback replaced.

Thanks,
Asher
