Bug#532852: Please run console-setup during initrd phase

[Fabian Greffrath <greffrath@leat.rub.de>]

Package: console-setup
Version: 1.36
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

/etc/rcS.d/S49console-setup is run rather late in the rcS runlevel, 
leading to a visible and ugly flickering of the screen and changing of 
the font during the system boot process.

I don't know if this is possible technically, but if the font and 
keymap setting was moved to the initrd-phase, the whole boot process 
would appear in the improved font and it would not be interrupted by 
visible flickering and font changing anymore.

Best Regards,
Fabian
