Bug#497331: console-setup: Please don't use Terminus by default.

[Josh Triplett <josh@freedesktop.org>]

Package: console-setup
Version: 1.27
Severity: normal

console-setup depends on console-terminus, and uses the Terminus fonts
by default.  Please consider defaulting to VGA instead.  As the Ubuntu
changelog puts it:

> console-setup (1.7ubuntu18) edgy; urgency=low
>  
>   * Change the default font to VGA where supported; Terminus does not seem
>     to have widespread aesthetic appeal.

Indeed it doesn't.  Having the option of Terminus seems useful, but
using it by default feels uncomfortable.

Ideally, console-setup could just Suggests: console-terminus, and
offer it as an option if installed.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
