Consider me actively participating upstream for console-setup. However regardless of whether I will be able to participate actively in the d-i development or not, I'd prefer to see other developers willing to participate in the maintenance of the udebs before they are used by d-i by default. This shouldn't be a difficult task because in these udebs there are no more than 10 program lines that do not exist in the regular packages console-setup or console-setup-mini. On the other hand for currently unsupported languages it would be nice to use console-setup even for etch. The required changes in localechooser are extremely simple. If the locale is unsupported on the console then: 1. install console-setup 2. unset the debconf value of debian-installer/keymap (otherwise the question for the keyboard layout will be asked only with medium priority). Instead of unsetting debian-installer/keymap you can implement some other way to tell console-setup that the question has to be asked with higher priority.
