Actually, for every locale other than Greek, we already try (this logic's
inherited from Debian):

UTF-8)
        # Enable UTF-8 in console
        case $TERMINAL in
        console)
                # In the case of Greek console support works,
                # so we can ignore loading jfbterm
                if [ $LANG != "el_GR.UTF-8" ]; then
                        try_load_fb
                        WRAPPER="/usr/bin/jfbterm"
                        WRAPPER_OPTION="-q -e"
                fi
                ;;
        esac
        ;;

I could try moving try_load_fb outside that if, I suppose.
