Comment 11 for bug 1621378

@ogra:
"well, all we actually need is the loadkeys binary and the keymaps from console-data after all"
"this should not be rocket science but sadly the overhead that console-setup and keyboard-configuration add on top (for bringing xorg in sync with the console etc etc) kind of makes it such which is why i'd like us to go with something way smaller here."

Such statements seem to cry for an onerous-dependency split (introduce some sub packages which do sanely scope-manage particular sub aspects only - and then successfully solely rely on these minor packages within certain "reduced" "hosted" deployment environments).

(side note: when I see keyboard-configuration requesting information about an __xorg-side__ Ctrl-Alt-Backspace server kill hotkey, I am at risk of getting LAYER VIOLATION stomach cramps as well...)
