The "human-keyboard screen" is in fact the boot loader, in this case
syslinux. It's important to distinguish between this and the running
system.
Ordinarily the fact that the keyboard works during the desktop
installation (once the kernel is up) but doesn't work in d-i (the server
installer) would indicate that some module is not being delivered in the
appropriate udeb. However, all of hid-generic, hid-apple, and usbhid
are present in the input-modules udeb, which is used by d-i.
I don't suppose any of these modules require firmware or something?
