Systemd and systemd-vconsole-setup.service (long time)

Question

Hi,
today I switched to systemd. It's amazing.
I have problem. one of 'service' start very long. Can someone help my figurout how to reduce boot time for: systemd-vconsole-setup.service?
# systemd-analyze blame
4646ms systemd-vconsole-setup.service
927ms dev-hugepages.mount
924ms dev-mqueue.mount
907ms sys-kernel-debug.mount
889ms wicd.service
759ms systemd-udevd.service
705ms systemd-udev-trigger.service
459ms systemd-sysctl.service
306ms systemd-remount-fs.service
296ms ip6tables.service
233ms systemd-logind.service
226ms iptables.service
209ms console-kit-log-system-start.service
181ms var.mount
167ms console-kit-daemon.service
116ms systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service
115ms systemd-readahead-collect.service
99ms home.mount
93ms systemd-user-sessions.service
85ms systemd-readahead-replay.service
18ms boot.mount
4ms tmp.mount
4ms proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.mount
# systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 1583ms (kernel) + 2946ms (initramfs) + 12669ms (userspace) = 17200ms
My /etc/vconsole.conf doesn't exist (I don't need it). But nothing change if I create it with proper conent.
Any ideas?
Regards

@teateawhy I tried your options (de and us) but both makes pretty the same results.
I tried also on my second machine (diffrent hardware, but VGA's in both case are from Intel (MSI Wind U100 and Toshiba Satellite PRO S500-150), but with the same list of packages, and the result are the same. So for me it is hardware independent.
Perhaps I am missing some packages?
