Bug#541291: console-setup: No special characters after update
Did you usually use a UTF-8 locale or a latin1 locale before? It may
be that setupcon doesn't properly detect whether you're using a unicode
console or not. This is configured in /etc/default/console-setup, maybe
the upgrade path didn't work for you.

It can in that readline uses it to know how to process characters.

They at least need to use either 8bit locales or UTF-8 locales,
according to the /etc/default/console-setup CHARMAP's parameter. The
POSIX locale can be both. Of course, don't expect to be able to type
non-ascii characters at the shell of a POSIX locale.
