I didn't close this bug because I was considering to add a Debconf 
question asking which package should configure the console (similar to 
that the user gets with more than one display manager - xdm, wdm, kdm, 
gdm).  But after a second thought I doubt this is worth the effort - 
console-tools is almost unmaintained and there are still some things 
that console-setup doesn't do, such as the default state of NumLock, 
setterm.  Moreover the scripts in console-tools and console-data are in 
bad shape and it will be difficult for their maintainers to do the 
required changes.

So unless there are objections I'd like to close #524233 and #524239.
