It was caused by the fact that I purged console-setup-mini, as I later found out and reported!

If you find a problem in version 1.47 or > following, do not hesitate to report it. I upgraded to version 1.47 last night: I reconfigured console-setup and keyboard-setup and tested the beast... It seems to work as I want it to. As soon as I find the time to migrate other boxes from console-setup-mini to console-setup, I will check if everything is OK: should something go wrong, I will report to the BTS, as appropriate.

I wish the Linux console fully supported Unicode (UTF-8), but that's another story (see bug #500403). Bye.
