Hi
Including Andreas as kbd maintainer (effective).
console-common is used to install console-data (recommended).
console-data includes some files that are/were not included in kbd
(years ago). Is this still true? some people use them.
I think the "deprecated" is obsolete; kbd has been revived since
console-* were created, console-tools is obsolete and gone but
console-data and console-common have still some small utility and live.
Do we want to change that, or will we deprecate and remove console-* ?
Best regards
Alastair

Hi,
in 2018, in #790955 you wrote that console-common and console-data are
deprecated. Hence the package description doesn't contain this
information.
Please consider adding this to the package descriptions of the
deprecated packages. And, also consider them going away until we release
forky.
Greetings
Marc
