kbd (2.0.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium The kbd init script is no longer supported. If configuration in /etc/kbd/config and /etc/kbd/remap is unmodified there will be an attempt to automatically clean up those files as well as the /etc/init.d/kbd init script on upgrades, if not THEY ARE LEFT IN PLACE and considered owned by the local admin. Most people probably use console-setup to configure their console, but this is not a requirement on Debian. We prefer always having something arond that configures the console which is why we don't unconditionally drop the above files. You can use the following command to check if you have console-setup installed: dpkg-query -s console-setup If it says "...is not installed..." you might want to start using console-setup by installing it: apt-get install console-setup Unless you know you want to keep using the obsolete init script and maintain it yourself you're recommended to make sure they are removed using the following commands: rm -f /etc/init.d/kbd /etc/kbd/config /etc/kbd/remap && rmdir /etc/kbd update-rc.d -f kbd remove -- Andreas Henriksson Tue, 05 Jan 2016 17:55:55 +0100
