FAI initramfs-tools breaks console-setup

Hello,
have there been changes to initramfs-tools in the FAI wheezy
repositories lately?
Yesterday I noticed that apt fails on some Ubuntu 14.04 clients with
this error message:
<snip>
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
initramfs-tools : Breaks: console-setup (< 1.72) but 1.70ubuntu8 is
to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
Keep the following packages at their current version:
1) console-common [Not Installed]
2) console-setup [Not Installed]
3) kbd [Not Installed]
</snip>
Running fai-setup propagates these errors to the nfsroot with the
result that during client install this error is present as well, so
console-setup is not installed, which breaks a few things like virtual
terminals from the 'createvt' flag.
Removing the FAI debian wheezy repository resolves this issue.
Btw, is the FAI repository required for building the NFSroot (running
fai-setup and/or fai-nfsroot) or can I remove it once fai-server has
been installed?
Cheers,
Robert
