The "offender" seems to be the kbd package,
Since upgrading to frozen SVGATextMode doesn't work correctly any more.
If I type stm I get this error

Hello!
This (s. below at ~~~) is definitly wrong. SVGATextMode does not only
increase the number of lines on the screen. Setting kernel vidmode
results only in 80x25, 80x28 and 80x50 modes. There is no gain for
your eyes in that, but:
* With SVGATextMode you get all out of the expensive modern
Why do you want to run SVGATextMode anyway? I ran it once and it was more
trouble than it's worth. The only good of it is to make more lines on the
screen, and you can set your kernel vidmode to EXT for that (50 line
mode)
