This bug was fixed in the package console-setup - 1.108ubuntu15.2
---------------
console-setup (1.108ubuntu15.2) xenial; urgency=medium
* Reorganize and correct console-setup, keyboard-setup and setvtrgb along the
lines of the logic in 16.04: (LP: #1591622, #1593156)
- debian/console-setup-linux.setvtrgb.service: don't require being run
before system-getty.slice.
- debian/keyboard-configuration.links: both console-setup and
keyboard-setup systemd units should be installed to sysinit.target rather
than multi-user.
- debian/keyboard-configuration.keyboard-setup.service: move loadkeys call
at local-fs-pre.target and in this more suitable location.
- debian/keyboard-configuration.console-setup.service: move to running
after the screen, keyboard, and filesystems are ready and set up all of
what may still need to be done to configure the virtual consoles
appropriately: set a final keymap, font, etc.
console-setup (1.108ubuntu15.1) xenial; urgency=medium
* debian/console-setup-linux.setvtrgb.service: port the upstart job for
applying our preferred color settings to a systemd unit so it gets run.
This will fix debconf prompts on console being extra ugly. (LP: #1576893)
* debian/console-setup-linux.links: enable our setvtrgb service in sysinit.
* debian/keyboard-configuration.links: fix link source for console-setup
service. (LP: #1572697)
* debian/control: add dh-systemd to Build-Depends.
* debian/keyboard-configuration.keyboard-setup.service: also enable
keyboard-setup as a systemd service so we can have proper keymaps enabled
in VTs. (LP: #1579267)
* debian/keyboard-configuration.links: enable keyboard-setup service.

Title:
console colors are not correctly applied
Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in console-setup source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
Debconf prompts are incredibly ugly on virtual console; colors are off from
the "official" aubergine background. This applies to Ubuntu specifically since
other flavors may specify a different color scheme that may not be affected.
[Test case]
1) sudo dpkg-reconfigure debconf
[Regression potential]
None. This only applies to the display colors for a console, and only on a
linux virtual console (ie. not a terminal).
---
At least on Xenial and onwards, our color scheme for the VTs is not
being applied, since setvtrgb is not getting run on boot (it's still
only an upstart job).
Porting setvtrgb to a systemd unit makes the pretty colors appear, and
I can get my debconf/newt prompts back with an aubergine background.
