The attached patch is a first attempt to solve this issue.
I made some early tests and it should be fine.
It also improves the way console-terminus is installed: instead of
hardcoding it for some languages, the package is installed when the
"kbd=" entry in languagelist mentions a Terminus font (names always
begin with "ter-").
I do not apply it in current localechooser as this change would be
likely to break it....and we agreed on avoiding risky changes before
beta2 now.
