RE: Configure error of console-data (reported already?)
Is it a bug? The changelog for console-data specifically states that you
must have console-tools installed, or the new changes to the postinst will
not work.
IMHO, this means that console-data should depend on console-tools. Wouldn't
everyone agree? 'Cept it doesn't, of course. ^_^

This is an actual bug. NONE is returned from a script called by
console-data.postinst when the user has requested that the script not
change the current keymap settings. However the postinst script doesn't
check for this, and proceeds to try to open a file called NONE.
