Updated numbers after creating an image without console-keymaps-at and
with console-setup 1.40:

                        .iso size       initrd size  free mem after boot
mini.iso:               8,923,136B      15,955,968B  231,048kB
mini-cs-i386.iso        9,150,464B      16,284,672B  231,184kB

initrd size : +328Kb
memory      : -136Kb!!


Odd, isn't it?
