Bug#496929: The default locale only applies on one among the six consoles

[anton@lml.bas.bg]

reassign 496929 console-tools
thanks

Hello,

I'd like to thank Michael Schutte who helped me figure out what caused 
the bug you reported (the default locale applies on only one console).

Michael told me that the bug you reported is reproducible with
console-tools.  The problem seems to be that
/etc/init.d/console-screen.sh (from console-tools) does

unicode_start 2> /dev/null || true

whereas /etc/init.d/console-screen.kbd.sh (from kbd) does

unicode_start "${CONSOLE_FONT}" < ${DEVICE_PREFIX}$vc >${DEVICE_PREFIX}$vc
2> /dev/null || true

for each virtual console ($vc).

Thats why I am reassigning this bug to console-tools.  My advice to you 
is to install kbd instead of console-tools.  Then check whether the 
problem disappears and report if it doesn't.
