My 5 cents.
I guess the problem is in the console-setup package. i was digging in initramfs
scripts. hope this may help.
Changes below working well for me (15.10, i386).
Look at the "#check" marks for comments (excuse me for my badly broken English
;-):

4. /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/panic/console_setup
same as [2]
5. /home/vfrolov/rebuild-initrd/initrd/scripts/panic/keymap
same as [3]
6. Configure and save
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup #choose font and keyboard map
sudo setupcon --save-only #save settings to /etc/default/console-setup
sudo update-initramfs -u #that's it
Thank you for the very best OS i'm using and really enjoying with!!!
