Hi, Sorry I'm a bit late to the thread;
I think a bit of reorganisation of console-* would be a good idea, post sarge. (Note, with a freeze planned for July 31, I'm working towards fixing bugs on console-* packages before then; no disruptive stuff right now). I've posted some notes on plans I had made at http://people.debian.org/~mckinstry/console-plans.html Two main bits: As there appears to be little interest in console-{tools,data} development upstream, I'm working towards merging stuff back to kbd. I think some of the stuff in console-cyrillic should be merged into console-common post-sarge; console-common is due for a rewrite: mostly to debconf' the font, etc. settings, but also make it more robust. Conversely, some of the cyrillic fonts/keymaps in console-data may be better off in console-data; the idea should be console-common as standard, with console-tools | kbd choice, and console-data | console-cyrillic. Also, note that 'fonty' contains non-latin fonts that people may use instead of console-data. I intend to make kbd-chooser mainstream, as well as d-i; the keyboard selection should be hotplug, triggered on keyboard detection. This should be merged with X developments in this area: loadkeys should work with use X keymaps. Comments welcome.
