Public bug reported:

1) lsb_release -rd
Description:    Ubuntu 15.10
Release:        15.10

2) apt-cache policy keyboard-configuration
keyboard-configuration:
  Installed: 1.108ubuntu9
  Candidate: 1.108ubuntu9
  Version table:
 *** 1.108ubuntu9 0
        500 http://ru.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) I expected to have cyrillic font for consoles (/dev/tty[1-6]) after
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
and reboot

4) I have cyrrilic font until I reboot. After reboot I have black boxes instead 
cyrillic chars.
If I do:
setfont /etc/console-setup/Uni2-TerminusBold16.psf.gz
then I have cyrrilic font in current console 

I found that these scripts
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/console_setup
/lib/udev/console-setup-tty
cannot properly set console fonts.
They don't recognize option CODESET="guess" and FONTSIZE="*x*" and check if 
exist only *.psf file, but we have *.psf.gz

I get part of code from /bin/setupcon and paste it in
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/console_setup
/lib/udev/console-setup-tty
and add extra test for psf.gz and acm.gz files

The attachment contain original scripts, fixed scripts and patches.
