** Description changed:
Binary package hint: kbd
The Linux virtual terminals support 16 colors, which are configurable in:
/sys/module/vt/parameters/default_{red,grn,blu}
A well formed color map, cmap, can be dynamically set using the ioctl:
ioctl(/dev/tty0, PIO_CMAP, cmap)
It would be very Ubuntu of us to provide a program in /sbin/setvtrgb
that dynamically modifies these colors. Furthermore, we should provide
a better default color palette than the standard vga one, allow admins
to configure it, and apply it at boot.

Order of uploads:
- 1) kbd -- establish the setvtrgb utility, get it in the builds, is able to
set the original vga colors, but requires a text file input palette
