Steps to reproduce

Occasionally, Debian does not manage to start console-setup service and gracefully fails with Failed to start Set console font and keymap.

Likely a race condition in systemd which tries to start console-setup before /tmp is mounted. Try and trace with dpkg-reconfigure console-setup.

Observed behaviour

Mangled diacritics
