Note that the patch to be applied depends on how we solve the debconf
preseeding for console-setup:

  http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-fso-maint/2009-May/001062.html

This because if console-setup is already installed by cdebootstrap, then
apt-get is able to correctly resolve the dependencies (I just finished
to tested this...).

This is the solution I would prefer, for two reasons:

1) console-setup is the future, thus one day kbd will depends on
   "console-setup | console-common", which means that even a buggy
   apt-get would pick up console-setup as the first option.

2) we avoid one more manual intervention.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
