Well, this would cause problems unless other things like
console fonts and keyboard maps (AFAIK) are set properly as
well. I think base-config should do that at the very beginning
of the configuration. This is even worse in case of langs using
wide chars - AFAIK ordinary linux console doesn't handle them
properly. I'm not sure if/how we can handle that other than
just disabling this feature for some languages.
