ubuntu installer of hardy alternative amd64 loads arabic keyboard layout instead of russian

[Victor Ashik]

I tested the today's build of alternative hardy CD for amd64, selected Russian from boot menu and installation started with no problem.
But in the middle of setup process some package changed the font on virtual consoles (letters appears thin after that) and keyboard layout.
There is no problem with font, but keyboard layout looks like arabic (typing in something linke arabic letters) and I have not found a way to switch it back to English.

I did a doublecheck and found that loading of wrong keyboard layout goes with console-setup package.

It does not look like wrong layout: I managed to type in using alt+numpad "loadkeys en" and it still types arabic letters. Typed commands do not work.
