FWIW, Ubuntu has been doing this for more than two years, according to their changelog: ,---- | console-setup (1.13ubuntu6) feisty; urgency=low | | * Set keymap and font in the initramfs if possible. Setting these as early | as possible is a good thing; we can't set up the font correctly once | usplash is running; and setting up the font between usplash and X | requires an ugly mode switch. | | -- Colin Watson <cjwat...@ubuntu.com> Mon, 22 Jan 2007 14:21:24 +0000 `---- The downside is that their package depends on initramfs-tools which would probably not be desirable for Debian.
