It appears you just don't have any keymaps installed. Do you have
console-data installed, or any files listed in these directories?

/usr/share/keymaps/
/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/
/usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/

If not, then this is not a bug AFAICT.

  This is not a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2030788
  which is about the X11 keymap instead of the console keymap.
