console-setup 1.13ubuntu5 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

console-setup (1.13ubuntu5) feisty; urgency=low

  * Add a --save-only option to setupcon, to save the keyboard/font on the
    root filesystem but not actually tell the kernel to set it up.
  * Back out part of setup-console-under-usplash changes: attempts to change
    the font must be guarded against being run while on an X display or
    while usplash is running, because some kernel console drivers (at least
    vgacon) are fundamentally unable to change the font only on some virtual
    consoles, and will corrupt video memory if you try (LP: #73955). We now
    use setupcon --save-only to make sure the font is available on the root
    filesystem for the next boot but don't load it immediately.
