Hello everyone,
I'd like to present a draft of install script of new generic i18n
module.
~ Abstract ~
Different distros have variables holding keyboard settings, fonts and so
in different files and even under different names. Sometimes it's
“SYSFONT” in /etc/sysconfig/i18n, sometimes it's “consolefont” in
/etc/conf.d/consolefont. I came up with idea to hold mappings in
configuration file (dracut.conf or dracut.conf.d/«distro».conf). The
script gathers variables and prepares two “unified” files inside
Dracut overlay.
The rest of the script is quite the same as redhat-i18n but some tweaks.
Dracut uses console_init written in C included in initscripts RPM, but
I'm gonna rewrite it in bash and then i18n module will be fully generic.
Please post here any doubts, questions, suggestions, insults… ;-)

Hmm, what about varnames with a "-" ? You might want to use "@".
