Console-setup-udeb already does this, the initial patch for this was by Colin Watson (July 15, 2007) and recently in 1.44 I changed it not to apt-install on computers without a keyboard. There is one change compared to what kbd-chooser does. If a serial console is used for the installation but the computer has a keyboard, then console-setup will be installed and questions about the keyboard will be asked.
