Debconf console-setup fails in Ubuntu Lucid

Hi again!

I have a problem setting the console-setup data to the correct values via debconf.

On row 85 i fai.log, task_debconf is called and sets all values as according to the file
in debconf/LANG_SWEDISH. (I guess, at least)

Then on row 190 fai fetches package console-setup and on row 341 it replaces and
unpacks the package. Then on row 461 it says "Setting up console-setup (1.34 ...)

Then on row 496: '$::Options::="--force-confold" install apt apt-utils cfengine2 console-setup ...'

I have some locales settings in the same debconf-file and they get set as intended,
setting the locale to sv_SE.UTF-8 and all is well.

The debconf-data for console-setup, however, seems to fall back to default settings (us, Uni1, USA)
instead of (se, Lat15, SWEDEN).

Any ideas what might go wrong? I didn't attach the files with the data since they're on a
virtual machine inaccessible to me right now, but if you require them, i'll give it a shot.

Kindest regards,
Mathias
