You can already use ESC sequences in the issue file, but I agree that
use \e is more readable and elegant.
Implemented, will be in v2.28. Thanks!
Now when I think about it, we already have infrastructure to convert
color names to the real sequences. Maybe it would be nice to support
\e{red} \e{lightgreen} to keep /etc/issue files more readable.
Comments?
