I believe we've fixed this already, especially since it is a bug that
was reported prior to the release of 16.04. We do have developers who
routinely use dvorak for keymap and would otherwise not have been able
to login to their systems.
Reassigning to console-setup, since it is the most likely culprit; but I
think it would be best if this was re-tested on recent releases and
images, and if someone is still seeing this problem show up, to report
it again here.
For now, I'm setting this to incomplete. I believe it has been properly
addressed (I made substancial changes to keyboard selection myself
between this report and the release of 16.04, and in further releases).
Please let us know if it isn't the case :)
** Changed in: debian-installer (Ubuntu)

Title:
Cannot login 16.04 server keymap wrong
Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I just download 16.04 server, the 2016-01-11 build and installed it on
Virtual Box 5.0.14.
The problem I got was with the keyboard mapping in the password
setting dialogue. When characters is not mapped correctly login is
blocked.
The preferred language was set to English, but I did set the keyboard
map as Swedish (from list) during installation.
During installation and in the user password setting dialogue,
characters are mapped correctly what I can see (enabled with 'show password').
But at login keyboard is still American English.
The character I have in the password is '*', which gives '\' with the
Swedish key marked '*'.
