This is a known issue. Unfortunately we don't have a solution for it yet.

You should be able to enter these characters using some kind of function
key combination. If Intel based MacBooks use Macintosh keyboard layouts
this problem is expected as we currently don't support USB-MAC keymaps
for i386.
You can select a USB-MAC keymap after the installation using
dpkg-reconfigure console-data
Reassigning this report to kbd-chooser so this can be fixed in the future.
