I think the last of these packages is unnecessary because d-i doesn't
work directly on the linux console. This udeb exists to allow localized
installs without framebuffer (I am not sure when this can be useful).

In expert mode (i.e. low debconf priority) it is normal for
console-setup to ask many such questions.

Some things to check:
1. Do you have loadkeys and kbd_mode utilities? I think they are from
kbd-udeb.
2. What does output the command setupcon -v
3. Is UTF-8 the value of CHARMAP in /etc/default/console-setup?
BTW, the last commands in the postinst of console-setup are these:
if [ -f /usr/share/console-setup-mini/console-setup.config ]; then
setupcon --force --save
fi

Maybe the questions are not shown because they are marked by Debconf as
'seen'?
