You wrote in another reply that the Mach console doesn't support
keyboard maps (thus US keyboard in text install), but the Hurd console
does (which should work after a reboot). This apparently fails, too,
since debconf data for keyboard-configuration (correct for a default
Finnish keyboard map) and what I get on the console (symbols where the
US keyboard has them) don't match.
