No, it is also installed by base-installer when language is Russian.
(BTW shouldn't apt-install be run from languagechooser/prebaseconfig
instead?)
Please have a look at languagechooser/languagelist, I just added a field
for console configuration. Only console-tools is currently supported,
but it can be easily extended to cyr and jfbterm. Then all the locale
configuration will be performed by languagechooser prebaseconfig, and
termwrap will become much lighter (and maybe useless?).
