Comment 3 for bug 733497

console-tools doesn't conflict (directly; there may be some indirect chain) with console-setup. That said, all modern systems should have kbd rather than console-tools - we replaced console-tools with kbd in intrepid.

keyboard-configuration operates on the assumption that either console-setup or console-setup-mini will be installed to provide setupcon. console-setup is in ubuntu-minimal and should be on all Ubuntu systems. I don't think it would be a good idea for keyboard-configuration to depend on console-setup for various reasons, but I'll change keyboard-configuration.postinst to tolerate console-setup's absence.
