It would be nice to merge console-setup (with 1.108 from Debian, as it was prepared by Steve Langasek). The main changes are to get more in sync with Debian.
There is still a lot of work required to get us in sync (or almost) with Debian since they've already moved on to 1.117; and there is still a lot of possibly unnecessary delta in keyboard-configuration.config, but this gets us a fair way towards reducing the delta from Debian, and more changes would require extra testing and coordination.
This update was tested from my PPA; I built mini.iso images including the change to be able to test that it was behaving properly at installation time for vivid, on upgrade on vivid as well on upgrade for a trusty->vivid manual dist-upgrade of all the packages and a utopic->vivid upgrade.
Changes:
console-setup (1.108ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium
.
[ Steve Langasek ]
* Merge from Debian unstable, remaining changes:
- Don't gzip font or ACM files in /etc/console-setup/. The space saving
is negligible, and it's more efficient not to need to uncompress them
at boot time.
- Include pc105.tree for ubiquity.
- Move boot tasks to a combination of two udev rules and a single
Upstart job, ensuring that they're run at points when we are able to
satisfy the constraints on the relevant ioctls.
- Stop running debconf-updatepo on clean.
- Set keymap and font in the initramfs if possible and sensible.
- Add an apport hook.
- Use keymapper to generate decision trees for a restricted subset of
the pc105 model.
- Depend on kbd (>= 1.15-1ubuntu3) for a valuable loadkeys improvement.
- Include support for translated keyboard names.
- Depend on debconf instead of pre-depending, because pre-depends have
no effect on config scripts.
- debian/vtrgb, debian/vtrgb.vga,
debian/console-setup-linux.setvtrgb.upstart, debian/rules,
debian/console-setup-linux.postinst: use Ubuntu's virtual terminal color
scheme by default, with a VGA color scheme available as an alternative.
- Make setupcon explicitly exit 0, so that postinsts don't fail in the
event that loadkeys can't find a console.
- Update for new layouts and variants for Montenegro and Serbia, and
migrate configuration files from the old layouts.
- Generate a locale locally for translating keyboard names in
kbdnames-maker.
- Don't copy keyboard-configuration questions to /target in OEM mode.
oem-config will ask them later, and copying these confuses it.
- Change the default font from Fixed to VGA for Lat15; while it's not
entirely complete, it looks better and is largely good enough.
- If the detect-keyboard debconf plugin is available
(cdebconf-newt-detect-keys in the installer), then offer to use it to
detect the keyboard layout.
- Fix default keyboard selection for language/country combinations
lacking a proper combined locale.
- Drop the layout/variant priority to high on fresh installs.
- Set default for Dutch to us(intl), not just us.
- Set default layout for Vietnam to 'us'.
- Set default variant for French to oss.
- Set default layout for Simplified Chinese to 'cn'.
- Don't use the default keyboard variant if the layout is overridden by
preseeding.
- If keyboard-configuration/layoutcode is preseeded but not marked as
seen, then set the default layout but don't lower the layout question
priority or preseed console-setup/ask_detect.
- Use the default keyboard model if an existing configuration file sets
XKBMODEL="".
- Go back to always asking layout before variant.
- Fix keyboard layout detection to set the layout properly.
- Reset keyboard-configuration/toggle to the default if it's set to "No
toggling" and you select a non-Latin layout.
- Automatically save the font and keymap to /etc in
/etc/init.d/console-setup if it isn't being run from init. Similarly,
ensure that the font and keymap are saved to /etc during initial
installation.
- Replace usplash detection code with Plymouth detection code.
- Load the new keyboard configuration immediately when running
'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration' in an installed system.
- Don't fail to configure keyboard-configuration if setxkbmap fails to
talk to the X display.
- Tolerate absence of setupcon in keyboard-configuration.postinst.
- Drop the simplified keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap question.
- Fix command injection in ckbcomp.
- debian/console-setup.console-font.upstart: Add Upstart job that sets up
console font when plymouth-splash is starting.
- Override description of the ch layout from "German (Switzerland)" to
just "Switzerland".
- Map ppc64el/* to XKBMODEL=pc105.
* Dropped changes, included in Debian:
- "Do not configure keyboard; keep kernel keymap" model option,
preseedable by keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP: this is now
supported upstream with either "unknown" or an empty string as the
model.
- Run kbd_mode on each tty in ACTIVE_CONSOLES rather than on the current
tty, since the current tty might belong to X and changing X's tty out
of raw mode is a very bad idea.
- Include Terminus font in the compiled packages. Do not depend, but
conflict/provide/replace console-terminus. New upstream version of
the Terminus font (4.32).
- Explicitly build-depend on liblocale-gettext-perl for kbdnames-maker,
and likewise have keyboard-configuration depend on
liblocale-gettext-perl.
- Weaken test for whether /usr is mounted; testing for /usr/share is
sufficient, and fixes operation in d-i.
- Make keyboard-configuration replace old console-setup/console-setup-mini
versions as well as conflicting with them.
- Set default layout for Kurdish to tr(ku).
* Dropped changes, no longer needed:
- Cope with systems installed with console-setup-udeb (<< 1.53) (which
predates Ubuntu 12.04 and Debian wheezy).
- Drop ancient handling of an empty codeset in the config file.
- Drop vtrgb upgrade handling from natty
- Drop upstart job transition from lucid
* setupcon: Map XKBMODEL=SKIP to '' for compatibility with existing
configs.
* debian/rules: revert hard-coding of a list of "debconf-selectable"
layouts for the udebs, since we don't use this debconf question in Ubuntu
and all layouts are selectable.
* setupcon: revert ridiculous upstream twiddling of keymap cache filenames:
- the variables are taken from a config file which, if changed,
invalidates the cache.
- there is only ever one keyboard map per system.
- the system should not have to resolve filenames to find the keymap cache
on boot.
* Move vtrgb handling to console-setup-linux package, since this is clearly
Linux-specific.
* Add missing console-setup-linux.prerm to remove /etc/vtrgb alternatives
* Keyboard/kbdcompiler: fix bug in filtering of unsupported variants that
breaks generation of the pc105.tree for d-i keyboard detection.
* debian/keyboard-configuration.postinst: udpkg is not part of an installed
Debian system; don't fail to configure if it's absent and the script is
called outside of an installer context.
* Don't make debian/copyright a symlink to COPYRIGHT, this is disallowed
by the Ubuntu archive installer.
.
[ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
* debian/keyboard-configuration.config: fix typo in model check for SKIP;
even when looking up the layout/variant, we need to check for the model
as XKBMODEL, since $model doesn't exist.
* debian/preprocessor: revert the removal of keyboard names (for size) of
console-setup-udeb: we do need those, since we don't use the simplified
xkb-keymap template from Debian just yet: this way we can still show
country/language names when selecting a keyboard, layout or variant.

- when working with incomplete information and guessing the font name,
use [A-WXYZa-wyz] as file pattern for fonts instead of [A-Za-z] (we do

* Debconf: More human-friendly options for the font size question. By
default use 8x14 format for all sizes.
* setupcon: Improved test whether we are on the console. Thanks to
Michael Schutte and Julien Cristau for the suggestions.
* console-setup(-mini).postinst: add again commands to configure the
console.
* ckbcomp: improved implementation for Alt+PrintScreen=SysRq and
Ctrl+Pause=Break on AT keyboards.
* ckbcomp: more correct use of approximate(). This probably affects
only some exotic key combination such as Ctrl+Alt+Shift+AltGr+F1.
* ckbcomp: lets try to remove some unnecessary and potentialy harmful on
non-standard layouts mappings for Linux (Ctrl+'=^G, Ctrl+3=^[,
Ctrl+4=^\, Ctrl+5=^], Ctrl+7=^_, Ctrl+8=^?).
* Do not source /etc/default/keyboard in /etc/default/console-setup
(on new installs or upgrades from pre 1.47 versions).
* setupcon: do not cache automatically the keymap. Instead add --save
option the init script.
* Do not remove /etc/console-setup in postrm.
* setupcon, config, postinst: recognise 'guess' value in the
configuration file.
* postinst: do not fail if setupcon fails.
* Include Terminus font in the compiled packages. Do not depend, but
conflict and provide console-terminus. New upstream version of the
Terminus font (4.32).
* Keyboard/ckb: update with keyboard data of version 2.1 of xkb files.
(This change is not relevant for Debian.)
* New install targets in the Makefiles and debian/rules to better
support non-Debian installs.
* Support for FreeBSD. Packages for Debian GNU/kFreeBSD:
- bdf2psf: new option --raw to generate raw fonts. Try to use CP437
code positions if possible. When generating raw fonts with same
codeset, use identical font map.
- ckbcomp and setupcon: support for FreeBSD keymaps.
- ckbcomp: new option -backspace [ del | bs ] to determine the
behaviour of the keys BackSpace and Delete.
- setupcon, postinst: A corresponding variable BACKSPACE in
/etc/default/keyboard.
- Termcap and Terminfo entries for FreeBSD.
- setupcon: When UTF-8 is requested on FreeBSD, act as if the encoding
is ISO-8859-1.
- Debconf: Don't ask the question about font size on kFreeBSD (no need
for this -- all available sizes will be loaded).
- New configuration variable VIDEOMODE. Currently it is most useful
on FreeBSD because the default Linux framebuffer driver (VesaFB)
doesn't permit changes of the videomode.
- Support for 8-bit encodings in console-setup-mini and in the udebs
- Udebs for kFreeBSD.
