Hi,
  I've found this bug, it seems to be a bit outdated, but I've found here an 
idea to move kbd_mode and unicode_start from /usr/bin to /bin. It will solve my 
troubles with unicode too. I am preparing new desktop system with etch 
installed and I have troubles with czech keyboard in unicode mode too. I know 
that boot time keyboard map is written fine, but according to your results - 
keyboard has not been switched to unicode because /usr is not mounted yet.
  I've found two solutions for me.
1) Install console common and generate right keyboard map to /etc/console/, then
   Install console-setup(-mini), choose one from offered (from my point of view 
unusable) keyboard
   Hack init script of console-setup to prefer keyboard map from /etc/console
   This solution is really dirty and I do not want to solve it by this way

2) Install console-common + console_tools without console-setup package, move 
kbd_mode and unicode_start to /bin

  I think that move files to /bin is really simple way how to solve problems 
with not-yet-mounted filesystems during system boot.

Regards,
  Pavel
