So the gist of this is that rc.local writes to /dev/console but you
don't see this? I added this to /etc/rc.local on a normal installation:

echo hello_stdout
echo hello_console > /dev/console

and "systemctl start rc-local.service" does print the hello_console on
the console (you need to run it on a VT, you won't see it in X), and the
hello_stdout goes to the journal. So apparently I'm missing something.

How do you test this exactly? Some OpenStack instance, and nova console-
log? Local VM? something else?

Title:
  rc.local output does not go to console

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  provided is user-data that should write:
  [stdout] Tue, 23 Jun 2015 20:17:52 +0000 ====== successfull boot 1 =======

  to the console on the first boot.

  currently in wily, rc.local's output is not being written to the
  console, so you wont see this.

  Note, that because of bug 1468103, you wont see it on first boot. If
  this bug were fixed then you'd see it on reboots.
