Gah! It's even worse. ai-chooser just blindly assumes that all images
include both localechooser and kbd-chooser while that is not guaranteed.
In fact, in most pkg-lists definitions localechooser is included from
common, while kbd-chooser is included from <arch>.cfg.
In the current situation ai-chooser basically overrides any other choices
made in the pkg-lists. Not Very Nice At All!
IMO ai-chooser should be split into two separate udebs, one depending on
localechooser and one on kbd-chooser and auto-install (which runs before
it) should anna-install them *only* if the postinst of localechooser resp.
kbd-chooser is present.
That would also allow for a clean migration to console-setup-udeb when
we're ready for that.
