Please, can someone tell me: Why was /etc/kbd/config (and also
/etc/kbd/remap) removed on kbd package Version 2.0.4-2ubuntu1 in bionic?
If it had been left, the console could still blank and powerdown (DPMS)!

Title:
  Ubuntu server enables screenblanking, concealing crashdumps (DPMS is

Bug description:
  James Rice of Jump Networks noticed that there is a screen-blanker
  enabled on Ubuntu Server.

  James notes that this blanking is not enabling DPMS power saving
  (thereby negating any power-saving benefit), and is simply turning the
  screen content blank.   This means that the crash output is invisible
  which is unhelpful on a server (virtual or otherwise).

  Ideally the screen should (at a minimum) be turned on and unblanked at
  the point of an OOPs/crash being printed.
