Well, I thought that the original context of my bug report was engouh to figure out. The package breaks when bootging the system, and more particularly when executing the /etc/init.d/console-setup script This is visible only on systems where perl-modules are not installed...which is not that common. The breakage was reported on some newly freshly installed systems where the use of console-setup is enforced (one of the current work of the D-I team). You won't see it on a French install because the French task drives perl-modules on the system, thus hiding the problem. This is visible, IIRC, on a Bulgarian fresh install and also very probably on fresh install of a base system with no localization (Choosing "C" as language in the install process). Actually, this is visible on any system without perl-modules but with perl-base...and using any software that uses the PVA perl module.
