Console-setup is supposed (at least its current version) to configure 
the font and the keyboard.  What is not supposed to happen is 
console-setup to be installed on a headless system.  Three methods to 
fix this:

1. Change console-setup to support headless systems
2. Change localechooser not to apt-install console-setup on headless systems
3. Change localechooser not to care about the console at all -- 
   console-setup-udeb doesn't apt-install console-setup on headless 
   systems, see console-setup/debian/console-setup-udeb.base-installer
