Hi,

Alastair planned to orphan console-tools and have it replaced by kbd
after sarge release.  AFAICT this has not been done yet.  I suppose
that we are both too busy to deal with these packages, and believe
that we need more people involved, which is why you are Cc'ed.
(If you know other people which may be interested, please forward this
message)
I created the pkg-kbd project on Alioth for this purpose.  If you are
interested, please subscribe to the pkg-kbd-devel list, and let's
discuss kbd issues there.  Here are examples of issues which could
be discussed:
  * kbd and console-tools have forked a long time ago, how to include
    fixes from both branches?
  * Make sure that UTF-8 works fine whenever possible.
  * Fix bugs reported against kbd and console-tools related to init
    scripts.

Denis
