Bug Description
[Impact]
* When launching "Install Ubuntu" or when present with try or install ubuntu screen, one cannot login on tty2-6.
* This impacts debugging facilities during installation.
* It appears that getty.target is not required by ubiquity, therefore gettys on tty2-6 are not spawned, and no users are allowed to login.
[Test Case]
* Boot Ubuntu Desktop CD
* Select "Install Ubuntu" in the isolinux menu, or the UEFI menu
* When presented with ubiquity screen, press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to open up tty2
* Login as user "ubuntu" with no password. If login prompt never appears (current behaviour) this bug is still present.
[Regression Potential]
* I have not tested this change in the OEM mode yet
[Potential fix]
* Add to ubiquity.service [Unit] section

This is very similar to bug 1567194, and that one was not easy to fix. My gut feeling is that this applies to tty1 as well and it is a duplicate.
