I intentionally chose the wording from console-setup/debian/control
(i.e. what was used before I added this *new* template - I didn't change
an existing one, as it might seem to somebody reading your mail without
checking the source) in order that I wasn't changing existing behaviour.
My concern with "Select a keyboard layout" is that it is wrong for
console-setup in expert mode which can also configure the font.
"Configure the keyboard" is vaguer and while it doesn't strictly
encompass the console font it seems less likely that people will object
to it. I deliberately avoided "console" because that's more technical
vocabulary.

I'm not sure this is the right thing to do.
