I created a bootable usb stick with unetbootin and the debian live image
6.0.3 amd64 standard.

I didn't check if the version of setupcon was to old (the bugreport
mentions that feature was implemented in 1.72) but --save-keyboard
wasn't available.

I added a new passphrase without special characters and everything works
fine now.

Thanks a lot for the information and suggestions!
