Perhaps you can call setleds from /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc or
from the relevant files in your home directory?  Or you could modify
/etc/console-setup to check /etc/default/keyboard for some entry
specifying whether to turn on NumLock or not and turn it on or not from
there ...  Or you could make your own startup script that checks
/etc/default/keyboard for an entry ...
