Consider the following two changes, the first because we are changing
the charmap and the second because ruscii_8x16 doesn't support Kazakh.
(But notice that if either of console-setup or console-cyrillic is
used, then kbd= does nothing.)

Yes, thats OK.  The idea is that I do not want console-setup to
control the charmap because I want to minimize the need d-i developers
to change the code of console-setup.  I'd like to see console-setup
requiring as much efforts to maintain as console-cyrillic now,
i.e. close to no efforts. :)

I've just uploaded a package that makes use of this variable.
