Fine. This has been commited in the appropriate place in d-i
repository.

I'm now working on the languagechooser entry.


Esperanto;eo_XX;en_XX;eo;US;eo_XX:eo:en_GB:en;kbd=lat0-sun16(iso15)

All these fields are:

1 - Language name, in English
2 - language code (ISO-639) when more than one locale exists
    of locale when only one locale exists
    This is where we depend on the final choice of the locale
3 - Fallback locale : identical to field 2
4 - language code
5 - Default country for countrychooser. We have to choose one..:-)
6 - languagelist for setting a lnguage order preference
    The order above is a common one
7 - stuff related to console DISPLAY handling


My problem is field 7 : how does one properly render Esperanto at the
Linux console. Especially, which console FONT should be used.

For Latin-based langs, this usually is related to the non UTF-8
charset used for the given language.

Latin1 langs use kbd=lat0-sun16(iso15)
Latin2 langs use kbd=lat2-sun16(iso02)
Turkish uses kbd=ter-916f(iso09)
  (we install the console-terminus package at the request of Turkish 
   translators)

and so on.

So, what I need from you is to know which font from console-data you
may want to use for displaying Esperanto at the Linux console.
