[Bug 1511975] Re: /lib/systemd/system/console-setup.service has incorrect ExecStart

[TJ]

I notice that the 16.10 console-setup has expanded the /etc/init.d
/console-setup script to call 'setupcon'. Maybe we just need a backport?

Title:
  /lib/systemd/system/console-setup.service has incorrect ExecStart

Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  /lib/systemd/system/console-setup.service as provided by this package
  (confirmed in vivid and wily) specifies:

  [Service]
  Type=oneshot
  ExecStart=/usr/bin/loadkeys /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz

  The "ExecStart" line will set the keyboard map but not the font,
  therefore the font remains at the default VGA font and framebuffer
  console mode is not enabled.

  The correct line which will set up both the keyboard map and the font
  is:

  ExecStart=/bin/setupcon

  The complete modified file is attached.

  I would be willing to submit a pull request on the relevant git
  repository if someone could point me in the right direction.
