Bug Description

Binary package hint: console-setup

The description should be:

"set console keymap"

as it does not set the font

This bug was fixed in the package console-setup - 1.57ubuntu1

---------------
console-setup (1.57ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Use keymapper to generate decision trees for a restricted subset of
      the pc105 model.
    - 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.
    - Reset keyboard-configuration/toggle to the default if it's set to "No
      toggling" and you select a non-Latin layout.
    - Change the default font from Fixed to VGA for Lat15; while it's not
      entirely complete, it looks better and is largely good enough.
    - 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.
    - Set keymap and font in the initramfs if possible and sensible.
    - Set default variant for French to oss.
    - Set default for Dutch to us(intl), not just us.
    - Set default layout for Vietnam to 'us'.
    - Set default layout for Kurdish to tr(ku).
    - Stop running debconf-updatepo on clean.
    - Update for new layouts and variants for Montenegro and Serbia, and
      migrate configuration files from the old layouts.
    - Add a "Do not configure keyboard; keep kernel keymap" model option,
      preseedable by keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP.
    - Drop the layout/variant priority to high on fresh installs.
    - Honour OVERRIDE_ALLOW_PRESEEDING environment variable when deciding
      whether to allow preseeding, which is ordinarily only allowed in d-i.
    - 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.
    - Add an apport hook.
    - Generate a locale locally for translating keyboard names in
      kbdnames-maker.
    - Replace usplash detection code with Plymouth detection code.
    - 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.
    - Depend on kbd (>= 1.15-1ubuntu3) for a valuable loadkeys improvement.
    - Don't try to call update-rc.d if it doesn't exist, such as in d-i.
    - 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.
    - Remove iconv transliteration. We don't use non-UTF-8 locales, and it
      breaks ubiquity as we haven't generated the configured locale by the
      time we hit console-setup.
  * Go back to always asking layout before variant.
  * Migrate from old console-setup/* to new keyboard-configuration/*
    question names.
  * Use the default keyboard model if an existing configuration file sets
    XKBMODEL="".
  * Exit cleanly from initramfs hook if /etc/default/keyboard or
    /etc/default/console-setup don't exist for some reason (LP: #634402).
