Hi Anton,

First of all, thanks for solving the bug (though I have yet to test it at 
home). Your effort is much appreciated.

Second,

I disagree. The symptoms are different, but the cause is one -- that is still 
not fixed -- and that is the fact that console-setup will overwrite a 
configuration file changed by the user, under /etc, instead of asking the user 
to resolve the difference. You have solved separately the two instances (that 
I know of) of problems this caused, by making the package understand the 
relevant changes; but unless the root cause is handled, I suspect instances 
will continue to pop up.

Hope this helps,
