I did not test this by myself, but davide did it and the patch proved to 
work (Davide, any hint about how to reproduce a correct keymap change in 
the g-i ?).
I don't see anything strange in a text console behaviour's not being 
affected by DFB.
Rather, i guess VT1 not being localized is a symptom of something not 
working correctly at an lower level (at the level where kbd-chooser sets 
the keymap) than DFB or GTKDFB (but i may b wrong)
BTW, how is keymap set by the d-i?
