Frankly speaking, console management is a big mess, imho, with nearly
nobody caring enough..:-)
console-cyrillic and console-terminus can be dropped. They used to be
installed for several languages (Cyrillic ones and Eastern european
ones) but we use console-setup now.
The same stands for console-data which we kept for Western European
languages...until we dropped it too.
console-common is superseded by kbd so you can drop it too. One of
both is Recommended by console-setup.
So, indeed, the comments are right: drop everything mentioned "for
lenny and earlier" and keep what's mentioned "for squeeze" but add kbd
to this.
