This is actually two problems. A bug in kbd-chooser crashing if the
keyboard definitions are missing, and the missing keyboard
definitions. Check #205381 "kbd-chooser's postinst exited with status
35584". A workaround is to install the console-data-at udeb first
(using anna), then it should run without crashing.

No idea. Bad driver, HW or something else? Is the module name
correct for your controller?
