I just tried to install Debian to a Banana Pi from the daily/netboot/SD-card-image installer (2018-10-28). The USB keyboard still doesn't work.
After enabling the HDMI console output following instructions here https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Allwinner#Installing_from_an_SD_card_image the installer boots and prints the language selection menu, but as the keyboard is not working, installation cannot be continued (without a serial connection). I get these messages to the console during kernel startup: usb0-vbus: disabling usb1-vbus: disabling usb2-vbus: disabling These suggest that although the necessary modules probably are included in the kernel and initrd, the USB buses are not powered on.
