there is https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=console-data
but i am equally puzzled by what any of these three packages (kbd,
console-data, console-setup) actually do, or which i really need. I find

The installer leaves you with kbd (which recommends console-setup |
console-data) but i've never known how to find out why.
