#63006 — Bug#918498: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/keymap: Please ship in the kbd or console-setup package

Package: initramfs-tools-core
Version: 0.132
Severity: normal
File: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/keymap

initramfs-tools ships a hook for setting a keymap, which complains on
every run of update-initramfs without kbd or console-setup installed.
Please consider moving this hook to kbd or console-setup, so that it
doesn't run at all without one of those packages installed.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

And I have cryptsetup-initramfs installed (and kbd and console-setup
intentionally not installed).

I get a complaint every single time I upgrade packages that cause the
initramfs trigger to run, and every time I regenerate the initramfs
myself. I'd like to stop getting that message.

This hook doesn't make sense to run unless kbd or console-setup is
installed. Rather than having the hook in initramfs-tools and checking
if kbd or console-setup is installed, why not move the hook to one of
those packages (where it can *know* that package is installed)?

cryptsetup-initramfs already Recommends kbd and console-setup. This
error message feels tantamount to emitting a warning on every single apt
upgrade saying "there are recommended packages you don't have
installed".
