Package: fai-nfsroot
Version: 4.3.1+deb8u1
Severity: normal

/usr/lib/fai/load_keymap_consolechars tries to find XKBLAYOUT from 
/etc/default/console-setup:

> echo -n "Loading keymap(s) $KEYMAP ..."
> if [ -x /bin/setupcon ]; then
>
>     layout=$(echo $KEYMAP|cut -d - -f 1)
>     variant=$(echo $KEYMAP|cut -d - -f 3)
>     sed -e "s#^XKBLAYOUT=.*#XKBLAYOUT=\"$layout\"#" \
>         -e "s#^XKBVARIANT=.*#XKBVARIANT=\"$variant\"#" \
>         /etc/default/console-setup > /.console-setup
>     setupcon -k --force
>     echo "done."
> else
>     loadkeys -q $KEYMAP && echo "done."
> fi

However, at least on my Debian 8 installation no such thing is defined in 
/etc/default/console-setup:

> # Consult the console-setup(5) manual page.

> ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]"

> CHARMAP="ISO-8859-15"

> CODESET="guess"
> FONTFACE="Fixed"
> FONTSIZE="8x16"

> VIDEOMODE=

> # The following is an example how to use a braille font
> # FONT='lat9w-08.psf.gz brl-8x8.psf'

Should the script perhaps be operating on /etc/default/keyboard instead since 
it does talk about XKBLAYOUT:

> # KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

> # Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

> XKBMODEL="pc105"
> XKBLAYOUT="us"
> XKBVARIANT=""
> XKBOPTIONS=""

> BACKSPACE="guess"

The end result of this is of course that the keyboard layout is not set during 
installation which is a problem since we expect users to type some extra 
information interactively at the beginning of the installation process.
