Console-setup supports almost everything X supports. However the config script of console-setup is limited and does not support every possible option. This is the reason of the warning. If you answered you wanted to continue to use the "unsupported" option - it will be supported both in X and on the console. Only dpkg-reconfigure will be unable to reconfigure the options in /etc/default/console-setup so if you want to make changes you will have to edit this file manualy. Due to a bug console-setup this warning was displayed on every upgrade. I suppose you are seeing it for first time only because 1.36 is the first version of console-setup you have used. Since 1.44 this is no longer the case - you see the warning only once. If you see this warning the next time console-setup is upgraded, please submit a bug report.
