Bug Description

Cyrillic characters doesn't displayed in VT and recovery mode since Kubuntu Natty. When I open VT or recovery console in Lucid all cyrillic characters displayed in without problems. But in Natty I see only rectangles instead of letters.

I install Ubuntu from net-install flash-drive (created by UNetbootin) then probably there is also bug in debian-installer.

This issue is still reproducible on fresh installation of
Ubuntu Server 16.04
Kubuntu 16.04
Xubuntu 16.04

As far I understand this is installer issue so it have nothing to do with console-setup package, because if user installed Ubuntu with some cyrillic language - cyrillic characters should be displayed correctly in VT and recovery mode after installation - it's not user, but installer job to take care of this.
