There is no real solution to this. Console and X keymaps are currently disconnected. A workaround is bringed by the localization-config package which is run at the end of the install and preseeds the X settings with defaults related to the chosen locale (roughly language+country combination). In the case you described, I guess you used the English language, then Australia as country (guess based on your domain name), so the keymap ended up to be a US keyboard. The console-data and X package maintainers are both planning some work on such issues, AFAIK, but this is complicated enough for being delayed after sarge release. Given that this is a very well known problem, we should maybe document this in the install manual, if not already done.
