% man 4 console
No manual entry for console in section 4

[elsewhere]
% man 4 console
NAME
       console - console terminal and virtual consoles

DESCRIPTION
       A  Linux  system  has up to 63 virtual consoles (character devices with
       major number 4 and minor number 1 to 63), usually called /dev/ttyn with
...
COLOPHON
       This  page  is  part of release 3.14 of the Linux man-pages project.

A console.4 man page has been in the manpages package since 1994. Several other 
man pages refer to it:
console_codes.4, console_ioctl.4, tty.4, vcs.4, charsets.7.
Maybe this page was taken from the obsolete-from-the-start console-tools 
package that is no longer installed?
It belongs to manpages.

** Affects: manpages (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
