I am the maintainer of svgatextmode. Conflicting with kbd (<< 0.92-3) is the
right solution anyway. I just noticed this bug a few days ago, and was going
to wait for something more important to come up before releasing a fix, but
since you need this, I'll release fixed version soon. Svgatextmode does not
need to depend on kbd, it's just that kbd <0.92-3 had fonts in
/usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts, not /usr/share/consolefonts as it does now.
