As far as I can understand, this bug can be fixed in two ways - by code
provided by console-setup, or by code provided by initramfs-tools.
Almost all of the code required in order to fix this bug has been
implemented in console-setup for quite some time. Unfortunately there
are two problems:
1. I (as one of the maintainers of console-setup) can not guarantee
that I will be able to maintain this code in future. Not because this
will be too complex or too time consuming (no, it won't be...), but
rather because I don't feel myself wanting to keep myself updated with
any future changes in the initrd build process.
2. I suppose the maintainers of initramfs-tools can say something
analogous...
I am willing to provide any required development, education, whatever,
the moment there appears a developer willing to maintain this.
