Nope, it's in console-data ;) I just want to make sure I understand this. If I install cosole-tools without having debconf installed will console-tools be operating differently than if I install it with debconf already present? Yes. Without debconf, the old kbdconfig stuff will be used. Also, will installing debconf later update console-tools to do these different things, or does different things just means it does the same things differently? On next console-data upgrade, the debconf-based stuff will be used. New console-tools depending on new console-data this should work fine.

All is working fine. console-tools does different things depending on if debconf is installed or not, but the bug is in console-tools. Yann, I hope you have plans to fix this soon? -- see shy jo
