This charset line (with the right charset, ie. koi8-u) is needed if you want to be able to load the same keymap both with koi8-u and UTF-8 encodings. The charset declaration tells console-tools how to perform conversions between Unicode codepoints, symbolic names and legacy encodings values. This is convenient on an installed system because keymaps does not have to be duplicated, but a charset line has to be declared. Recai spotted another problem in this bugreport, do you know if your keymap works fine after first reboot? -- Denis
