This bug seems to rely on two missing bits on two packages (patches included).
the package "live-build" does not include console-setup-udeb in the cdrom
"pool/" directory and live-installer do not "Depends:" on console-setup-udeb.
So the "/target" system have default "/etc/default/keyboard" file instead of a
proper one.
Fixing those two above mentioned quirks is not enough it seems, because the
resulting target, although having a proper configuration file, still needs a
"setupcon" after reboot in order to have things working.
I see that live-installer calls "setupcon --save-only" in the target, so, by
reading man page, all should be done.
But strangely it is not the case.
Could anyone from debian installer team, with a deeper understanding of d-i
than me, suggests a solution there?
The patches included are there just for convenience.
