Hi, Yes, there is significant common code in kbd and kbd-chooser. The plan is the following:
(1) console-tools, data, get replaced by kbd in etch. (2) kbd-chooser is also a deb in etch, usable outside d-i (Petter Reinholdsen is working on this). (3) kbd-chooser & kbd make console-common redundant (its original purpose was to choose a keyboard map from a number of package sources, and use either kbd or console-tools to run it at boot-time. kbd-chooser would select the kbd map and place it in the /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz, and then kbd would run it. Remove console-common finally, create a library in kbd for common code used by kbd-chooser, used in both the kbd-chooser deb, udeb and kbd. (This was part of the plan for console-tools, a good plan but never brought to fruition as console-* was abandoned upstream. This time, I intend to do it without forking kbd; Andries Brouwer (kbd upstream) agrees in principle. This work is planned for August, as I am busy until then.
