Analysis:

This is caused by keyboard-configuration trying and failing to detect a keyboard.

It detects my USB keyboard using InterfaceClass 03, InterfaceSubClass 01, and InterfaceProtocol 01 in /sys/bus/usb/devices/ .
It detects the built-in keyboard on my other computer using "AT Set" in /proc/bus/input/devices .
However it does not detect the Surface Type Keyboard ('N: Name="Microsoft Surface Type Cover Keyboard"') in /proc/bus/input/devices .

The problem is in the keyboard_present() function of line 36230 of /var/lib/dpkg/info/keyboard-configuration.config .
