I was also hit by this bug. I confirm that setupcon is unable to load
the “fr(bepo_afnor)” keymap.

The problem comes from the fact that the “fr(bepo_afnor)” keymap has a
Unicode code point above 0xFFFF (more precisely U+1F12F, the copyleft
symbol, which appears on key BKSL; see line 647 of
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fr).

Those code points are not handled by the Linux console (and actually,
loadkeys interpret them as two code points, hence the “too many
entries” message).

I have prepared a merge request, improving on the patch submitted by
Anisse Astier in #984427:

 https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/console-setup/-/merge_requests/8

I’d really like to have this fixed in bullseye. It’s still possible to
have it fixed before the unblock request deadline (on 2021-08-03).
Otherwise it will have to go in a stable point update. In any case, I’m
willing to do the necessary work (even NMUing if that’s ok with the
maintainers).

Best,
