The console-setup package unifies the keyboard configuration for the Linux
console and the X Window System. Its installation time dialogue can be run
again as follows:
# dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
# dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
The console-data package only supports the Linux console. Its installation
time dialogue can be run again as follows:
# dpkg-reconfigure console-data
console-data users may also find the install-keymap(8) utility useful for
making a keymap available early in the boot process. It is provided in the
console-common package.
