Setupcon is a portable script that can be used on any distribution --- Debian or not, on Linux or FreeBSD, with systemd or without systemd. Although currently console-setup is packaged as a Debian specific package I prefer to maintain it as a non-Debian package. Everything outside the debian/ directory in the source package (and this includes setupcon) belongs to the "upstream" part of the package. We can not/should not ask from the upstream to depend on Debian specifics (such as the way systemd and initrd are implemented). Anton Zinoviev
