[Bug 1954575] [NEW] Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 (manual / autoinstall) keyboard layout not applied in console or decryption

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I think the manual and autoinstall methods of Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 got
a bug regarding the keyboard / keymap setup. This is not (or maybe could
be) related to the setup where the configured keyboard layout gets
forgotten throughout the different setup screens.

I am installing with a specified keyboard layout but it won't get
recognized until the system fully booted (aka login screen). So in
console or in my case the decryption phase I cannot properly enter my
secret. I think it switches back to the default en_US. I tried calling
`update-initramfs -u` in target (and directly, too) during the late-
commands phase on an autoinstall but it doesn't change anything. It will
only work calling it once the system booted and I'm logged in. After
being regenerated I have the proper keymap for the decryption.

This also happens for a manual install using the live server 20.04.3
image right from source. I define the keyboard / locale in the
appropriate section and it doesn't apply until the system booted.

I can reproduce this in 10/10 cases using the manual install and
autoinstall method.
