Thank you for reporting this problem.  It will be fixed in the next 
version of console-setup.

Actually the only thing that has to be fixed is to hide this error 
message, or maybe replace it with a warning (thats why I am lowering the 
severity of the bug).  The script ckbcomp is not the only required file 
from /usr.  The only way to be sure the preliminary keymap configuration 
works is to have precompiled keymap in /etc/console-setup.  Later during 
the boot process, such precompiled keymap will be prepared 
automatically, so there will be no error message the next time the 
computer reboots.
