I believe you can end up with vague environment wierdness by doing that
- ie, because you're not actually running any getty. 

What would be wanted is `rungetty`

>From the debian desc:

Description: a minimal console getty that can run any process
rungetty might be the getty you were looking for.  It is able to run
any program, not just login. If a different program than login is used
it usually is run as nobody.nobody, or the user/group specified on the
commandline. rungetty can even be configured to autologin, under certain
circumstances. See the manual page for more information.
