Console-setup must support everything X supports, here we are talking
only for default settings that will allow less questions to be asked
with high priority.
If there is xorg.conf with correct settings, they will be used -
alt-intl, basic, whatever, and they will work. Otherwise (i.e. there is
no xorg.conf), the settings of console-data will be used. Both your
keyboard settings and those of Frans are not supported by console-data
so you both will have to use dpkg-reconfigure after the install of
console-setup.
The bad variant is when some user (like Frans) uses the graphical
environment to customize the keyboard, leaving wrong settings in
xorg.conf. In this case after the install of console-setup the console
will be broken because console-setup will use the settings from
xorg.conf for its defaults.
