I saw that in the planned future version 1.30 of languagechooser #261476
will be fixed by making console-cyrillic to be used to setup the
Bulgarian console just like the other Cyrillic languages. I think that
for Bulgarian we do not need console setup in languagechooser because
console-cyrillic will nicely care about this. In order to avoid jfbterm
it woould be enough to add support for CP1251 in termwrap.
The reason about this is that Bulgaria is the only place in the world
where two completely different keyboard layouts are in common use [1]
(the so called BDS and phonetic). People knowing BDS have big
difficulties with phonetic and people knowing the phonetic keyboard
layout can not use BDS. I think that BDS is more popular but most of
the Linux users use phonetic.
With the "cyr=..." the console-cyrillic package has to be autoinstalled
at the first stage of the installer and the user doesn't see the
important question about the keyboard layout.
By the way languagechooser apt-installs console-cyrillic and
xfonts-terminus for ru but not for uk.
It also unnecessarily anna-installs bterm-unifont for Greek.

[1] All typewriters use BDS. I think that for first time the phonetic
layout was used in the Bulgarian versions of Apple ][ (a huge amount
of these was produced in the Bulgarian factories). Since then the
proffecionals prefer to use phonetic keyboard.
