1) Do you have "keyboard-configuration" installed? (It runs "setupcon
--save" through "/etc/init.d/console-setup".)

2) "console-setup.console-setup.init" looks like the name of a file in
the console-setup tar.gz file from which "dpkg-buildpackage" (or
whatever app Ubuntu's build servers uses) creates an init script. What
was needed after making the "/etc/default/console-setup" change(s) was
to run "setupcon --save" because "/etc/init/console-setup.conf" runs
"/etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz" which is created by "setupcon
--save".
