Package: console-tools
Version: 1:0.2.3dbs-65.1
Severity: important
The boot script keymap.sh is a very early service:
/etc/rcS.d/S05keymap.sh
Still it depends on the presence of a file system below /usr.
That cannot be granted until
/etc/rcS.d/S35mountall.sh
Thus, keymap.sh is useless in its present form for all
systems except the most trivial file system schemas.
It is possible to move a few of the binaries produced
by console-tools from /usr/bin/ to /bin/, and alongside
rewrite
keymap.sh
unicode_start
unicode_stop
to avoid this dependency. The use of /usr/bin/tail and
/usr/bin/cut can be eliminated by use of /bin/sed.
Since this service concerns the setup of a system console,
the implicit dependency on /usr/ must be considered as a
clear design flaw in its present state. This is in fact
closely related to #552011.
