[Bug 1572697] Re: broken symlink console-setup.service [systemd]

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ Console font and other configs from kbd/console-setup may not be applied on boot.
+ 
+ [Test case]
+ 1) Configure a keymap / key translation table.
+ 2) Boot the system
+ 3) Console should have the key translation table applied.
+ 
+ [Regression potential]
+ Minimal; this applies configuration that should always be applied on boot and only applies as a fix to a regression from previous releases, and only on a virtual console.

  keyboard-configuration 1.108ubuntu15 contains console-setup.service in
  /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants, but as a broken symlink:
  
  $ dpkg -L keyboard-configuration | grep multi-user.target.wants
  /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants
  /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/console-setup.service

  Symlink should point to ../console-setup.service instead.
  
  I originally reported this in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source
  /console-setup/+bug/1534121 against console-setup, which was the wrong
  package to refer to. My apologies for messing that up.
