Summary	0000332: please add console-data
Description	Dear maintainers, please add package console-data to the next release. It makes keyboardchange = "loadkeys xx" much more easier (and of course working at all) Thank you very much Hans

vanguard 2016-05-12 05:30 reporter ~0005239	Dear muts, in latest kali 2016.1 and higher, console-data is missing again. It would be nice, if you could add this package by default. If it is missing, you cannot switch to other keyboards (/usr/share/keyboard is missing). Thanks for the help! Best regards Hans
