If that is the case then devfs needs some tweaking
----- Linux Filesystem Heirarchy Standard
6.1.2
All devices and special files in /dev should adhere to the Linux Allocated Devices document, which is available with the Linux kernel source. It is maintained by H. Peter Anvin.
------
Virtual terminals are specifically listed as
4 char TTY devices 0 = /dev/tty0 Current virtual console
1 = /dev/tty1 First virtual console
Thus using any other name places devfs out of the standard. Is there a reason for devfs not providing /dev/tty{n} (nothing stops it providing /dev/vc/n as well)
