There are HOWTOS on installing Debian on iBooks. I don't remember
which one, but at least one described how to set up you own keymap.
In this case, it was for a german one, but the principle is the same.
Please, when you have a sufficiently working one, submit it as a bug
report (I think it was console-common). I did this for the german
variant, and on the next install keyboard was working from the
beginning.
Greetings
