As far as I can understand, this bug can be fixed in two ways - by code provided by console-setup, or by code provided by initramfs-tools. Almost all of the code required in order to fix this bug has been implemented in console-setup for quite some time. Unfortunately there are two problems: 1. I (as one of the maintainers of console-setup) can not guarantee that I will be able to maintain this code in future. Not because this will be too complex or too time consuming (no, it won't be...), but rather because I don't feel myself wanting to keep myself updated with any future changes in the initrd build process. 2. I suppose the maintainers of initramfs-tools can say something analogous... I am willing to provide any required development, education, whatever, the moment there appears a developer willing to maintain this.
