I found a side effect if console-common is not installed. There is a problem to run "dpkg-reconfigure console-data", i.e. when it's run, after selecting "Select keymap from arch list", nothing happens. Normally it should ask the "Keyboard layout family", then "Keyboard layout".
This is how to reproduce it:
1. bootstrap an Ubuntu xenial environment:
debootstrap --verbose --arch=amd64 --components=main,universe --exclude=console-common --include=console-data xenial xenial-chroot http://free.nchc.org.tw/ubuntu
2. chroot xenial-chroot
3. dpkg-reconfigure console-data
4. Select "Select keymap from arch list", then it just quits without asking "Keyboard layout family", and "Keyboard layout". Nothing happens.

Any comments about this?
