[Bug 1579267] Re: plymouth-start.service: After: reference to non-existent keyboard-setup.service

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Keymaps are not correctly set on virtual console (in gettys)
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ Set keymap, using us, intl variant. Test that dead keys behave correctly (ie. hitting an apostrophe and then e yields "é" rather than "'e".
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ System that carry a keyboard configuration but the system administrators rely on the fact that the local console keymap remains in US will find that it no longer behaves as expected.

  plymouth-start.service refers to a non-existent keyboard-setup.service:
  
  $ grep keyboard -r /lib/systemd/system/*
  /lib/systemd/system/plymouth-start.service:After=systemd-udev-trigger.service systemd-udevd.service keyboard-setup.service
  tj at T300CHI:~$ apt-file search keyboard-setup.service
  tj at T300CHI:~$
  
  The file only exists in 16.10 in console-setup-linux
  
  This caught me out whilst I was debugging some console-setup issues.
