Changing font in "/etc/default/console-setup" does not work

After reboot in generated file "/etc/console-setup/cached_setup_font.sh" needed font passed to setfont twice.
For example if was specified
FONT="Uni3-Terminus12x6.psf.gz"
in cached_setup_font.sh will be
setfont '/etc/console-setup/cached_Uni3-Terminus12x6.psf.gz' '/etc/console-setup/cached_Uni3-Terminus12x6.psf.gz'

After manual deletion second parameter and rebooting font applied as expected

Why need to copy font from "/usr/share/consolefonts" to "/etc/console-setup" when setfont can take it directly from "/usr/share/consolefonts" ?

Why ubuntu not fully moved to systemd and not uses "/etc/vconsole.conf" instead of magic generated scripts like "/etc/console-setup/cached_setup_font.sh"
