Thank you, it seems to work.  And kbd_mode also seems to work.

Doesn't the following code do everything console-setup needs:

    if kbd_mode 2>/dev/null; then
        configure_the_keyboard
        if setfont -o /dev/null 2>/dev/null; then
            configure_the_font
        fi
    fi

If the answer is yes, then there is no need for special testing toos and 
perhaps this bug can be closed.
