Title:
  broken symlink console-setup.service [systemd]

Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in console-setup source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Console font and other configs from kbd/console-setup may not be applied on boot.

  [Test case]
  1) Configure a keymap / key translation table.
  2) Boot the system
  3) Console should have the key translation table applied.

  [Regression potential]
  Minimal; this applies configuration that should always be applied on boot and only applies as a fix to a regression from previous releases, and only on a virtual console.

  keyboard-configuration 1.108ubuntu15 contains console-setup.service in
  /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants, but as a broken symlink:

  $ dpkg -L keyboard-configuration | grep multi-user.target.wants
  /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants
  /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/console-setup.service

  $ sudo find -L /lib/systemd/system -type l -ls
    1315455      0 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root           22 Apr 20 03:11 /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/console-setup.service -> /console-setup.service

  Symlink should point to ../console-setup.service instead.

  I originally reported this in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/+bug/1534121
  against console-setup, which was the wrong package to refer to. My
  apologies for messing that up.

  Additional info:
