Lets start testing it :-)
I am coming back on this topic.
In the meantime, the d-i team has agreed that we should get this feature
into Lenny, and we have managed to remove the extra dependency on
ncurses. Also, a version of ttf-dejavu building ttf-dejavu-mono-udeb
has been uploaded to unstable.
Loïc Minier uploaded vte/0.16.14-2 in experimental which builds
libvte9-udeb and contains other minor changes needed for the integration
with the debian-installer. My tests with this version has been
successful.
Could you please review the changes in vte and acknowledge an upload to
unstable?
Cheers,
