Title:
  non-us keyboard layout not setup in initramfs

Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in console-setup source package in Artful:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description:    Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch)
  Release:        17.10

  In Artful the /etc/console/cached.kmap.gz file does not exists, in its place, 
it uses some files with more precise names susch as cached_UTF-8_del.kmap.gz. 
However the initramfs scripts still uses cached.kmap.gz . The consequence is 
that the keyboard layout remains US in the initramfs which is a problem for 
full encrypted installation when entering passphrase.
  Proposed solution is to make a symbolic link from  cached_UTF-8_del.kmap.gz 
to cached.kmap.gz. Then the initramfs tools will find the 
/etc/console/cached.kmap.gz file and includes it in the initramfs.
