The Linux Console Tools are a set of programs allowing the user to setup/customize
your console (restricted meaning: screen + keyboard only). It is
derived from version 0.94 of the kbd package, and has benefited
from most (hopefully all) features introduced in kbd until
version 0.96a.
The Linux Console Tools are still under development, but using it just as a
replacement for kbd should be quite safe, at it fixes many bugs
kbd has.
