Please consult kon2, jfbterm, cce, and chdrv packages, which are
similar console softwares for Japanese and Chinese. They use /usr/bin
directory because a user who wants to use Japanese or Chinese invokes
one of these softwares _after_ login.
Debian JP Project uses kon2 for localized installation disk.
If you are interested in more kernel-side solution, I think you are
interested in linuxconsole project http://linuxconsole.sourceforge.net .
Offtopic: you may be interested in mlterm http://mlterm.sourceforge.net
which is an X terminal emulator with BiDi and Arabic shaping support.
