Console-setup sucks
I have a few reasons for this:
- It wants to change the framebuffer font without asking. I seriously dislike the font it sets up.
- I have a habit of writing my own Xkb keymap. With xorg <= 7.3, that meant creating a file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/wouter and having something like Option "XkbLayout" "wouter" in xorg.conf. Console-setup doesn't pick that up, though, and loads a default keymap that somehow looks closely similar to what I'm using.
- What's worse, the default keymap it picks up on my Apple Powerbook (which isn't my primary laptop anymore, but considering how my actual primary laptop is in for repairs, is what I need to use for now) is a PC Belgian AZERTY keymap, rather than the Apple AZERTY. This is *wrong*.
I might understand why they did this kind of thing, but the current implementation of autodetection is horribly broken.
