there is https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=console-data but i am equally puzzled by what any of these three packages (kbd, console-data, console-setup) actually do, or which i really need. I find the desciptions of all unclear. The installer leaves you with kbd (which recommends console-setup | console-data) but i've never known how to find out why.
