I have a 3rd machine (which doesn't use systemd).
ypig:~> cat /etc/default/keyboard
# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE
# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="gb"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""
BACKSPACE="guess"
So, this is OK before the upgrade. Then, I upgraded only the
following with aptitude:
Preconfiguring packages ...
(Reading database ... 556584 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../0-console-setup-linux_1.149_all.deb ...

I got a question:
Configuring keyboard-configuration
The current keyboard layout in the configuration file
/etc/default/keyboard is defined as XKBLAYOUT="gb" and
XKBVARIANT="".
Please choose whether you want to keep it. If you choose this
option, no questions about the keyboard layout will be asked
and the current configuration will be preserved.
Keep the current keyboard layout in the configuration file?
<Yes> <No>
I chose "Yes", so that I didn't expect any change. But now:
ypig:~> cat /etc/default/keyboard
# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE
# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.
XKBMODEL=""
XKBLAYOUT="gb"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""
BACKSPACE="guess"
which is wrong!!! And /var/cache/debconf/config.dat changed in the
same way as the other machines.
Note: I don't remember getting this question on the other machines,
but the effect was the same.
