As shows /var/log/dist-upgrade/apt-term.log, the problem occured is:

AFAIK, there was no such file in maverick, so it should be created somehow BEFORE kernel upgrade.

[Vsevolod Velichko (torkvemada)]

P.s. However, "dpkg --configure -a" helps after all - the file /etc/default/keyboard was created during upgrade.
