No, I agree it should not be installed at all.

In the current situation this would IMO be the correct action.
Possibly for the current situation the apt-install of console-setup should
be moved from localechooser to kbd-chooser which already takes care not
to install console-data on headless systems [1]. This would also make for
a more natural migration from kbd-chooser to console-setup-udeb.

c-s-udeb probably *should* apt-install console-setup. Currently it relies
on localechooser to do this, which is not at all logical.
