Thanks for your bug report - this is a realy serious problem caused by 
the Debconf part of console-setup (it expects to find jp(latin) layout 
that existed in the old times of etch).  For now I can recommend you to 
change /etc/default/console-setup to contain lines like these two:

XKBLAYOUT="us,jp"
XKBVARIANT=",OADG109A"

After this change X should be usable again.

No, this is completely different problem.

Thanks, sometimes such information is really necessary.  It will help if 
you send also your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/default/console-setup 
files (before the changes you make in the second file).
