Package: console-common
Followup-For: Bug #650995

Hi,

I am also getting the same error when upgrading console-common to 0.7.86.

Perhaps they have tried to fix a lintian error:

$ lintian /var/cache/apt/archives/console-common_0.7.85_all.deb
W: console-common: debconf-is-not-a-registry usr/sbin/install-keymap
W: console-common: debconf-is-not-a-registry usr/share/console/getkmapchoice.pl
E: console-common: init.d-script-missing-dependency-on-remote_fs
etc/init.d/keymap.sh: required-start

This error indicates /usr might be necessary before using /etc/init.d/keymap.sh.
This script invokes commands in /usr if console-tools package is installed:

>        [ -x /usr/bin/unicode_start ] || [ -x /bin/unicode_start ] ||  return
>        [ -x /usr/bin/unicode_stop ] || [ -x /bin/unicode_stop ] || return

Note that /bin/unicode_* are available in kbd package, which is used
in my installation.

So console-tools might have to move /usr/bin/unicode_* to /bin/ to
avoid such a dependency loop.

Thanks,
