Bug description:
Package version 1.226ubuntu1 in 24.04 LTS contains the following patch
hunk to `setupcon` relative to the base version 1.226:

```
As a result of this patch, the font file name gets twice into `FONTFILES`.
That, in turn, results in the following output from `setupcon -v`:
```
executing setfont -C /dev/tty1
/usr/share/consolefonts/Uni2-Terminus28x14.psf.gz
/usr/share/consolefonts/Uni2-Terminus28x14.psf.gz.
setfont: INFO setfont.c:336 kfont_load_fonts: Read 512-char 14x28 font from

setfont: ERROR kdfontop.c:211 put_font_kdfontop: ioctl(KDFONTOP): Invalid
argument
```
and the font is NOT set.
Removing this line (671) fixes the problem:
```
FONTFILES="$FONTFILES `findfile $fontdir $f`"
```
The patch with the fix is attached.
