This is because console-tools have been patched in Debian so that
this -u flag is useless.  But there are still other trouble, as
you can see.

Ok, then try the following commands:
  # unicode_stop
  # loadkeys cz-lat2-prog
  # install-keymap cz-lat2-prog
This will create a new /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz file, which
should work at init time.  Can you please test it?
