Akira sent me his initial draft for the wrapper script. Here it is:

 %%%%%%  %%%%%%  %%%%%%  %%%%%%  %%%%%%  %%%%%%  %%%%%%  %%%%%% 
#!/bin/sh
#trap fail SIGTERM SIGINT

# Are these required?
# bash reads /etc/environment in booting.
#. /etc/environment

# Set all locale related environment variables.
LC_ALL=$LANG
export LANG LC_ALL

# Display Usage if no arguments.
if [ $1 = "" ]; then
        echo "usage: $0 [-nnt] <command> [...]"
        echo "-nnt: don't run another terminal"
        exit 0
fi

case `/usr/bin/tty` in
/dev/tty|/dev/console|/dev/tty[1-9]*)
        TERMINAL=console
        ;;
/dev/tty[p-za-e]*)
        TERMINAL=pseudo
        if [ "$DISPLAY" != "" ]; then
                TERMINAL=x
        else
                case $TERM in
                rxvt|xterm*|kterm)      TERMINAL=x;;
                esac
        fi
        ;;
/dev/tty[A-Z]*|/dev/cu*)
        TERMINAL=serial
        ;;
esac

case $TERM in
dumb)   TERMINAL=dumb
esac

export TERMINAL

# Why don't we use dpkg-architecture? 
# Because it isn't in the base archive.
case $HOSTTYPE in 
i386)   /bin/grep -q pc9800 /proc/version && SUBARCH=pc9800 ;;
esac

# initialize WRAPPER.
WRAPPER=""

case $LANG in
ja*)    
        case $TERMINAL in
        x)
                #WRAPPER="/usr/X11R6/bin/kterm -e"

                ;;

                if [ "$SUBARCH" != pc9800 -a "$TERMINAL" = console ]; then
                        # Any plathome except PC9800 require jfbterm
                        # to display japanese fonts on console.
                        WRAPPER="/usr/bin/jfbterm -e"
                fi
                ;;
        # On pseudo and serial, we couldn't know
        # that terminal can display japanese fonts...
        esac
        ;;
esac

if [ "$1" = "-nnt" ]; then
        WRAPPER=""
        shift

# testing $WRAPPER

Maybe Chinese and Korean people can use the scheme by adding 
their setup in "case $LANG in".

If this can be used, then I propose to put this into CVS
as scripts/rootdisk/prototype/sbin/termwrap, and to add lines at 
the end of extract_base() in utilities/dbootstrap/extract_base.c
in the way:

   if (NAME_ISREG("/target/etc/inittab",&statbuf)) {
     rename("/target/etc/inittab","/target/etc/inittab.real");
   }
   sprintf(prtbuf,"cp %s %s","/etc/inittab.install","/target/etc/inittab"); 
   execlog(prtbuf, LOG_INFO);
+
+  sprintf(prtbuf,"cp %s %s","/sbin/termrap","/target/sbin/termwrap"); 
+  execlog(prtbuf, LOG_INFO);
+  sprintf(prtbuf,"chmod 755 %s","/target/sbin/termwrap"); 
+  execlog(prtbuf, LOG_INFO);

  sync();
  return 0;
}

How do you think this ?
