Bug#743476: Strange path /usr/etc/default/keyboard.VARIANT

["Trent W. Buck" <trentbuck@gmail.com>]

Package: console-setup
Version: 1.102
Severity: minor
File: /bin/setupcon

In the following transcript,
the path setupcon claims to search does not match its documentation and
is not an FHS 2.3 path.

    # setupcon --help |& grep VARIANT
    Usage: setupcon [OPTION] [VARIANT]
    If VARIANT is not specified setupcon looks for the configuration files
    a VARIANT is specified then setupcon looks for the configuration files
    ~/.console-setup.VARIANT and /etc/default/console-setup.VARIANT.

    # cat /etc/default/console-setup.small
    FONTFACE="Terminus"
    FONTSIZE="12x6"
    XKBOPTIONS="altwin:ctrl_win,ctrl:nocaps"

    # setupcon --font-only --verbose small
    setupcon: None of /usr/etc/default/keyboard.small nor /root/.console-setup.small exists.
