Thanks ... I had purged apt's cache because I ran short of disk space after the
upgrade so I had to download xkeyboard-config_0.6-5_all.deb from the breezy
repository. I ran the --force-confmiss command as described and rebooted...

only to discover my keymap in X was bizarre. (When I typed "t" it came out as a
"3" and "w" came out as "t"!) So I had to ssh in from another machine and run
dpkg-reconfigure console-data. So now as far as I can tell I'm back to where I
started -- I still can't get the Virtual Consoles to come up.
