The retention of console-setup in xenial-proposed is causing a side-effect on
ubiquity [2.21.63.5] installation which depend specifically on that
1.108ubuntu15.4 version[1].
IMHO ubiquity should have been put on hold as well to make sure console-setup
and ubiquity were release at the same time.
If the hang cannot be fix soon, meaning that console-setup will stay in
-proposed for a while or maybe eventually drop ?
Maybe we should consider rolling back ubiquity to use console-setup
1.108ubuntu15.3 ? to at least unblock the dependencies created by last
console-setup change[2]

Note: If we activate xenial-proposed and then install ubiquity, it works
because the dependency is met.
Thoughts ?

Title:
Remove obsolete versioned dependency on initramfs-tools Edit
Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in console-setup source package in Xenial:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
[SRU Justification]
Up until artful, console-setup declares a versioned dependency on
initramfs-tools. This was an Ubuntu-specific dependency only needed for
upgrades, and the version referenced is ancient (ca. 2008). In artful and
later, the dependency has now been removed.
Since this is no longer relevant for upgrades and we would not
otherwise have a dependency on initramfs-tools, we should drop this
dependency to support building of images with initramfs-tools removed
for systems that we know don't require an initramfs.
[Test case]
1. On a xenial default cloud image install, try to run 'sudo apt purge
initramfs-tools'.
2. Verify that this tries to remove console-setup, console-setup-linux, and
kbd.
3. Cancel the removal.
4. Install console-setup from xenial-proposed.
5. Run 'sudo apt purge initramfs-tools' again.
6. Verify that console-setup, console-setup-linux, and kbd are not removed.
7. Run 'sudo apt install --reinstall console-setup' and confirm that the
package can be installed successfully without initramfs-tools installed.
[Regression Potential]
If a user needs an initramfs in order to mount their root device, and
console-setup is the only package on their system which depends on
initramfs-tools, it is possible that the user may remove initramfs-tools and
render their system unbootable.
This is unlikely because initramfs-tools is still part of the
'minimal' seed and is therefore a dependency of ubuntu-minimal; and it
remains a dependency of the generic kernel image.
