Ok, I'll change the default.

During Debconf-configuration the packages are not yet installed.
Because of this it is not possible to use Suggests.
Infact the source package of console-setup includes the Terminus font in
order to make the package installable on non-Debian systems. For the
binary Debian package I decided to exclude the Terminus font only
because I am maintainer of console-terminus too so it was easy to keep
both packages in sync.
