I think Bastian's approach is, to remove kbd-chooser from the archive, since
it was stated (see below) that it's no longer in use.
d-i has switched away from it to console-setup 12 years ago with
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer/-/commit/2575a669e91252a6253430020137154c995c9b38

Are there any ports maybe, that still use it somehow?
Or what about derivatives?
It's an udeb-only package, so the use in the installer is the only imaginable 
scenario...

@installer-team: any comments?
