Given squeeze is frozen, we should now go the conservative way, that is
reverting back to cons25. We will try to have another way to get
debian-installer display UTF-8 (maybe defaulting to the graphical
installer, not yet tested on GNU/kFreeBSD), and it is possible to do
that far later in the freeze process.

I have tried to do the fix myself by reverting only TEKEN_XTERM, but I
still get the problem. Given I am now travelling, I can't test that
anymore.

Even reverting all on amd64 does not help.

# UTF-8 console support
#options                SC_PIXEL_MODE   # add support for the raster text mode
#options                TEKEN_UTF8      # UTF-8 output handling
#options                TEKEN_XTERM     # xterm-style terminal emulation


It looks like we should instead teach console,
how to handle "ESC [ x" correctly, in the same way
as "ESC [  3   9   ;   4   9   m" is handled.


orion-bsd:~# TERM=xterm tput op | od -ax
0000000 esc   [   3   9   ;   4   9   m
           5b1b    3933    343b    6d39
0000010
orion-bsd:~# TERM=cons25 tput op | od -ax
0000000 esc   [   x
           5b1b    0078


This way we can leave current TEKEN options as they are.
