Bug#1019009: console-setup-linux: missing compose sequences

>From ckbcomp:

    if ($charmap) {
        my $file1 = "/etc/console-setup/compose.${charmap}.inc";
        my $file2 = "$installdir/etc/console-setup/compose.${charmap}.inc";
        if (-f $file1) {
            system("cat $file1");
        } elsif (-f $file2) {
            system("cat $file2");
        }
    }

It looks as if the compose files are only included when a non-utf-8
charmap is used?

Perhaps additionally the per-locale compose file should be included?
(and by default, en_US.UTF-8)
