Where you have /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz, you could instead create
2 files in /etc/console boottime-<kernel-version>.kmap.gz. Then in
/etc/init.d/keymap.sh make the followin changes:
Add a line near the top, where you see other variable definitions, to
define:
VERSION=`uname -r`
then below, change this line
loadkeys ${CONFDIR}/${CONFFILEROOT}.${EXT}.gz
to this:
loadkeys ${CONFDIR}/${CONFFILEROOT}-${VERSION}.${EXT}.gz
I haven't tried it myself, just cooked it up as I wrote this. My
system is sid, and I don't have potato config files to reference atm.
Hope that works for you.

P.S. please set your mailer to wrap at 72 characters. Had I not
reformatted your quoted message below, it would have appeared as one
very long line that can be difficult for some to read. It's not my
responsibility (nor probably even my right) to alter your message
while I quote it.
