Title:
  keyboard-configuration needs, but does not depend on, kbd

Status in “console-setup” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The heart of the keyboard-configuration package is the udev script
  /lib/udev/console-setup-tty and the upstart job /etc/init/console-
  setup.conf.  These scripts depend on the setfont, loadkeys, and
  kbd_mode utilities for their work, all of which are shipped in the
  'kbd' package, but keyboard-configuration does not depend on kbd. I'm
  pretty sure this is a bug, though in practice one that rarely impacts
  users because kbd and keyboard-configuration are both Priority:
  important and both installed by default.  Also ubuntu-minimal depends
  on console-setup which depends on both of them.
