This doesn’t seem to happen on my system.  Does the reordering break
anything or add unnecessary annoyances, or is it merely a cosmetic
issue?

console-tools is finally on its road to be completely replaced by kbd.
The seven packages which state a “Should-Start: console-screen” will be
changed soon.  The change of the Provides: word was necessary to make it
possible to seamlessly install kbd instead of console-tools, but still
keep both packages in the archive for the time being.

(And technical matters aside, the legacy name “console-screen” is pretty
pointless and confusing.)

As Petter stated in #542225, he doesn’t like this usage of virtual
facilities.  I suggested an alternative solution in #545311.
