Bug#959779: keyboard-configuration: dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration - changes not persistent unless console-setup is alo run

[Hans Ameel <hans.ameel@howest.be>]

Package: keyboard-configuration
Version: 1.193~deb10u1
Severity: normal
Tags: newcomer d-i a11y

Dear Maintainer,

When changing the keyboard layout using dpkg-reconfigure
keyboard-configuration, the change is not persistent after a reboot.
If you run dpkg-reconfigure console-setup after dpkg-reconfigure
keyboard-configuration, then the changed keyboard layout remains
persistent.
This non intiutive.
