Old console is named, for example, cons25r, and new console is named
also cons25r.  Or one should change name for old console? For both consoles
with the same name, the only way is to compose common entry
("op=\E[x\E[39;49m" if it works correct). And one should install this composed
termcap at all new machines. It is better to do it centralizedly - in stock
distribution, isn't it? ;|

Terminal name change is the only correct way if it is impossible to compose
termcap entry for both old and new variants.
