Title:
  Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 (manual / autoinstall) keyboard layout not
  applied in console or decryption

Status in subiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
