These files are cached copied here by the --save argument to setupcon used in:
http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/console-setup.git/tree/debian/keyboard-configuration.console-setup.init
Also see line 15,16,17 for comment on this one...
Even thought the keyboard-configuration init script will stick around
when purging console-setup it will not be running since /bin/setupcon,
which is tested for early in init script, is removed with console-setup.
The cached files are thus useless (and should IMHO be removed) once
console-setup is purged.
