So, we need to "extract" the various features present in the various
distro and either make sure they are implemented in vconsole-setup (ie
it can be specified in vconsole.conf ) or can be moved to a separate
package.

In our particular SUSE case, I see three features :
- "compose" key : should goes in, since it is  better to have just one
call for loadkeys than calling it two or three times (like it is done in
our initscript or if we add another helper).
- kbd rate : could be moved to a separate helper
- setleds : same (although some of it should be handled by the kernel
itself..) 

In the mean time, I'll keep a patch in SUSE systemd for compose and
kbd_rate and a separate service for setleds.
