Package: console-setup
Version: 1.205
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I am seeing the console-setup.service is failing in the boot log and checked
the status of the service as shown below.
```
# systemctl status console-setup.service
● console-setup.service - Set console font and keymap
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/console-setup.service; enabled; vendor
preset: enabled)

```
The service is failing mainly because the /tmp folder is not available or it
gets cleaned by another service (systemd-tmpfiles.service).
I found similar issue is reported in Ubuntu systems [1] and found fixed [2] in
xaniel version.
Can we re-use this patch in Debian to fix this issue?
