While cleaning up the whole code of console-setup from kfreebsd parts
is out of my skills, I managed to get it so far, that the kfreebsd packages
are no longer beeing built, and those packages removed from control file.
Could this be enough for now?

I filed this as MR [1].

The pipeline on that push went fine first [2], while there was a job within
the pipeline named "D-I" which I triggered manually and that failed, however 
I'm not exactly sure what this job does, and what failed there; a mini.iso 
image was however successfully created. I did not notice this pipeline
funtionality before. Is this expected to work?

Comparing all the remaining packages with debdiff shows no unexpected 
differences compared to the previous version, so for me it looks ok.

Maybe someone wants to take a look?
