Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.108

If one have package `console-setup' not installed, `update-initramfs' does not
include the keymap into the initramfs file generated.

A look into `/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/keymap' shows that the keymap is
copied by using `/bin/setupcon' from the `console-setup'.  But neither is
`console-setup' an essential package. nor does `initramfs-tools' depend on
it.  Moreover the keymap hook `exit's with 0 if `/bin/loadkeys' or
`/bin/setupcon' (as in my case) is missing.  Is this really the intended
behaviour?

I suggest to add `console-setup' as a dependency for `initramfs-tool' and add
an error or at least a warning if the keymap has to be loaded (by `KEYMAP=y'
`initramfs-tools' configuration) but one of the above tools is missing.
Moreover I suggest to use `KEYMAP=y' as default in
`/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf' since imho many Debian users have a
non-QWERTY keyboard layout.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux sid, kernel 3.2.0-3 and libc6 2.13-35.

Cheers,
Dirk

Solved with upload of i-t v0.109 addressing #689336 - thanks for the
hint, Dirk.
