Bug#686815: grub-common should recommend `console-setup` containing `/usr/bin/ckbcomp` for `grub-kbdcomp`

[Paul Menzel]

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.99-22.1
Severity: important

Dear Debian folks,


the program/script `/usr/bin/kbdcomp` shipped by `grub-common`

        $ more /usr/bin/kbdcomp
        #!/bin/sh

        transform="s,x,x,"

        prefix="/usr"
        exec_prefix="${prefix}"
        bindir="${exec_prefix}/bin"

        grub_mklayout=${bindir}/`echo grub-mklayout | sed ${transform}`

        ckbcomp "$@" | $grub_mklayout -o "$1".gkb

uses `ckbcomp` which is packaged by `console-setup`. Therefore
`grub-common` needs to either depend or recommend `console-setup`. Maybe
`ckbcomp` can also be packaged separately and `grub-common` can
recommend that.


Thanks,

Paul


PS: The strange sed transformation is from GRUB’s configure.

        --program-transform-name=PROGRAM   run sed PROGRAM on installed program names
