Hi Jan, How did you install this headless system? The install media has a graphical GRUB menu which I don't think you could operate from a text- only console. Did you have a graphical display during install?

(I think I know an easy way to check this in d-i) text-mode lacks support for locales at localechooser's level 2 or higher. And even at level 1 the Í in Íslenska didn't render, so probably some level 1 locales are not fully supported. The vga or KMS framebuffer seems okay up to level 2. Therefore, I don't think text-mode is a good default for everyone. Let's only use it where we need to.
