I have no idea what the real differences between kbd and console-setup are and what the future of both packages will be next to console-setup. I tried creating the udeb for both and was successful for kbd (see attached patch). I could probably also do it for console-tools, but that would result in a much bigger package as for some reason loadkeys in console-tools depends on three libraries from libconsole. The one in kbd only depends on libc. Cheers, FJP
