Hi,

as discussed in #694156, it would be nice if console-setup would call
update-initramfs once installed/updated/reconfigured (one might want to
change some settings like the configured keymap for example).

Since I'm not very keen on introducing this kind of changes so late in
the release cycle, I'm proposing to work around this (probable) c-s bug
by introducing a script in finish-install:
http://bugs-master.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=694156#10 (option 2)

Probably something we might want to address during the jessie release
cycle; I don't want to possibly introduce some subtle bugs in the
upgrade path from squeeze.

console-setup lacks the ability to tell the interested software
components when the keyboard configuration changes.  For example lots of
people have suggested that X should update its configuration when
keyboard-configuration is reconfigured or changes in
/etc/default/keyboard are detected.

In order to have this ability we can create a directory where any
interested package can install a script to be triggered by console-setup.

With this I am not suggesting that the X people have to implement
keyboard reconfiguration on the fly.  I am merely stating that from the
point of view of console-setup it will be clearer to call commands such
as update-initramfs by means of a script provided by another package
rather than directly.
