hmm, and if you want to change the consolefont you have to
edit the /etc/init.d/kbd file?

how about something like this in the postinst:
   cd /etc
   ln -s ./kbd/consolefont/lat1-16.psf ./default-console-font
eventually asking questions first, and checking if the link
not already exists, even the filenames might be different ;-)))

and in /etc/init.d/kbd just add
   [ -f /etc/default-console-font ] && 
      setfont /etc/default-console-font 2>/dev/null

hmm, what does setvesablank do on non-intel machines?

and how about the other virtual consoles (which might exist)? maybe 
better is

for t in /dev/tty[0-9] /dev/tty[0-9][0-9]
   [ -f $i ] && echo -ne '\033[1;6]' > $i
done

... what does this echo actually do?
