This charset line (with the right charset, ie. koi8-u) is needed if you want
to be able to load the same keymap both with koi8-u and UTF-8 encodings.
The charset declaration tells console-tools how to perform conversions between
Unicode codepoints, symbolic names and legacy encodings values.
This is convenient on an installed system because keymaps does not have to be
duplicated, but a charset line has to be declared.
Recai spotted another problem in this bugreport, do you know if your keymap
works fine after first reboot?
