3. Identified as possibly identical to Debian Bug #792086 keyboard-
This affect upstream, as I've also found the problem with an Ubuntu box.
Seems that /var/lib/ dpkg/info/ keyboard- configuration. config has a function ‘keyboard_present’ that looks for specific strings in /proc/bus/ input/devices . Two of the keyboards I have so far tried don't match, so — despite the evidence — the system thinks I have no keyboard.
