Bug#497331: console-setup: Please don't use Terminus by default.



Quoting Josh Triplett (josh@freedesktop.org):
> Package: console-setup
> Version: 1.27
> Severity: normal
> 
> console-setup depends on console-terminus, and uses the Terminus fonts
> by default.  Please consider defaulting to VGA instead.  As the Ubuntu
> changelog puts it:
> 
> > console-setup (1.7ubuntu18) edgy; urgency=low
> >  
> >   * Change the default font to VGA where supported; Terminus does not seem
> >     to have widespread aesthetic appeal.
> 
> Indeed it doesn't.  Having the option of Terminus seems useful, but
> using it by default feels uncomfortable.
> 
> Ideally, console-setup could just Suggests: console-terminus, and
> offer it as an option if installed.


I'm tempted to agree with that argument.

Anton, would you mind commenting?
