The first version of console-setup used layout/variant but I had to
change this to origin/model. The users didn't expected to find the
Dvorak keyboard as a variant of the Finish layout.
Traditionaly the XKB files define general keyboard layouts with many
variants (such as with or without dead keys). However the upstream of
XKeyboardConfig changed this in the recent vesions. Now the so called
"layout" corresponds to the teritory the keyboard is used and the
"variants" list all keyboard layouts used in that teritory.

I couldn't say this in clear English but my intention was the following:
If you prefer bold version of the Terminus font and you don't use
framebuffer then choose TerminusBoldVGA. If you use framebuffer then
choose TerminusBold.
