Hi Doug, If you are running serial console, you don't need console-tools anyway, so you could just remove it. With regard to the ^J problem, that typically happens to me when something crashes, and fails to restore the terminal state. You could look in /var/log/debug, where you should find a register dump for any process crashes.
Don't know what you mean by "unknown keymap", but you could try debconf-show console-data which should show you what keymap is currently specified, and dpkg-reconfigure console-data which will let you change that.
