Yeah, I think that's what happens, but it's not enough.

acpi-support-base Depends: console-tools | console-utilities
console-tools Recommends: console-data, console-common
console-common Depends: console-data, kbd
kbd Recommends: console-data | console-setup

So all of console-common, console-data, kbd, and later console-setup get
installed.  I think we need to switch acpi-support-base to depend on kbd
instead of console-tools, and kbd to prefer console-setup over
console-data.

Cheers,
Julien
