I solved this for apus, by applying this patch to the installed
/var/lib/dpkg/info/console-data.config (or whatever file it was).
here is the patch, just adapt it to your case.
a similar thing could be done with the various others subarches. This is a
release critical bug, and needs to be fixed before potato is released. Since
console-data is part of base, and anyway, kbd-data, is no more present in the
archive.
