Found more issues:
/etc/init.d/keyboard-setup
# Provides:          keyboard-setup
# Required-Start:    mountkernfs udev
# Required-Stop:
# X-Start-Before:    checkroot
                      ^^^^^^^^^
It is not started before checkroot though! Does that mean X-Start-Before 
is not supported?
In addition, it should probably also have a Should-Start: keymap, so it 
is started after /etc/init.d/keymap.sh (same issues basically as with 
console-setup <> console-screen.sh)

Looking more into it: checkroot.sh has a Should-Start: keymap, but 
keymap.sh is started much later than checkroot.sh. Bug?
