...I put livecd-rootfs in the affects list, please use LANG=en_US.UTF-8
instead of LANG=C and LC_ALL=C.

$ egrep -r 'LANG=|LC_ALL=' .

Title:
  Broken CHARMAP with LANG=C on postinst, affects all installations
  after 14.10

Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This affects all Ubuntu CDs and installations after 14.10.

  The VTs are not configured to show UTF-8 characters because of a wrong
  CHARMAP value at /etc/default/console-setup (ISO-8859-15 instead of
  UTF-8).

  The cause most probably is that recent console-setup.postinst versions
  create a different configuration file based on LANG:

  # rm /etc/default/console-setup
  # LANG=C apt-get install --reinstall console-setup
  # grep CHARMAP /etc/default/console-setup 
  CHARMAP="ISO-8859-15"

  While with C.UTF-8 (or en_US.UTF-8 or whatever) it produces the correct CHARMAP:
  # rm /etc/default/console-setup
  # LANG=en_US.UTF-8 apt-get install --reinstall console-setup
  # grep CHARMAP /etc/default/console-setup 
  CHARMAP="UTF-8"

  I think this should be fixed in console-setup, but it's possible that
  the live CD code may want to use LANG=C.UTF-8 in any case.
