Well, the situation is that I am ready to devote as much time as it is 
required in order to develop whatever is required.  The problem is I am 
not prepared and I don't want to maintain this afterwards (for personal 
rather than technical reasons).

There are some other people helping with the development of 
console-setup.  They are members of debian-boot list, hopefuly an email 
to this list will be helpful?

So it seems there are three options:

1. A current contributor of console-setup volunteers to help.

2. Someone from the kernel team maintains the hooks in console-setup (in 
this case I can do any requested initial development, documentation, 
etc.)

3. Something like --save-keyboard or --setup-dir is used.
