Kbd has upstream maintainer, console-tools is dead. Because of this Alastair McKinstry has already tagged several bugs as wontfix [*]. The transition from console-tools to kbd has been planned for years and the only reason of the delay is the chronic shortage of console maintainers in Debian. It seems Alastair supports only console-tools and for the rest it is only me and Christian Perrier and we both are doing this only because nobody else does. > Is there something in kbd that console-tools doesn't do? Kbd supports large fonts for high-resolution framebuffer modes. Also the utilities of console-tools depend on libconsole. I think because of this it will be difficult to create small size udebs based on console-tools.
