I think the manual and autoinstall methods of Ubuntu Server 20.04.3 got a bug regarding the keyboard / keymap setup. This is not (or maybe could be) related to the setup where the configured keyboard layout gets forgotten throughout the different setup screens.

I am installing with a specified keyboard layout but it won't get recognized until the system fully booted (aka login screen). So in console or in my case the decryption phase I cannot properly enter my secret. I think it switches back tot he default en_US. I tried calling `update-initramfs -u` in target (and directly, too) during the late-commands phase on an autoinstall but it doesn't change anything. It will only work calling it once the system booted and I'm logged in. After being regenerated I have the proper keymap for the decryption.

This also happens for a manual install using the live server 20.04.3 image right from source. I define the keyboard / locale in the appropriate section and it doesn't apply until the system booted.

I can reproduce this in 10/10 cases using the manual install and autoinstall method.
