patch for implementing the same handling as is in old sysv-init

This fixes it for me, I'm testing right now in home:seife:testing and will forward to Base:System as soon as build finishes without problems

Yeah, systemd does not support any other splash than plymouth. We should just switch to plymouth. Plymouth supports graphical password dialogs without any VC or console switching.

That's why I did not send the patch upstream but only have put it into the openSUSE package.
Once you have migrated openSUSE to plymouth, it should be pretty trivial to remove the patch again.
