The above config change does help when I run "setupcon" afterwards. The serial console is needed for this. That way it is possible to finish the installation using the framebuffer console (i.e. mirror select, popcon, tasksel, etc.). After rebooting into the newly installed rootfs, keyboard-setup runs again and causes the same problem. But during startup the console keymap gets mangled regardless of the settings in /etc/default/keyboard, which means I have to run "setupcon" on the serial console after every restart. I was able to work around that with "systemctl mask keyboard-setup". --
