An Option ("ERASECHAR" and maybe "KILLCHAR") in "/etc/login.defs" causes problems with kmscon. See: https://github.com/dvdhrm/kmscon/issues/69 Are these "System V" options still needed?
Same issue. The ancient ERASECHAR setting in /etc/login.defs overrides the VERASE set by kmscon, causing backspace to not work. Following David's instructions in the aforementioned issue and commenting that setting out fixes the problem.

This way we do not have to deal with unintended fallout from modifying a base system package.
