I do not follow you here, you state above that termwrap is not needed with console-tools. As base-config is run after reboot, console has then been configured, parsing /etc/console-tools/config is useless. If termwrap is needed outside of d-i, I suggest to have a minimal termwrap-di to deal with Asian locales, and nothing more.
