I see. Personally, I also do not use console-cyrillic in my russian
installations. The console-tools package has a set of russian fonts and
keymaps I am pretty satisfied with. So, perhaps, one solution is to make
console-cyrillic optional and remove it from tasks or whatever place
it is mentioned in the installer. But then /etc/console/boottime.keymap.gz
and /etc/console-tools/config should be configured properly with a certain
tool. I am not experienced with the details of how the installer works, so
I cannot recommend anything more detailed. I am ready to help if there
is such a need. But then you will have to explain in what ways I can do
that :)
