This is because in both cases the keyboard is configured by the command loadkeys /etc/console-setup/cached.kmap.gz I was simply wrong: I discovered it when entering in maintenance mode and last time I used the console to kill xbmc or kdm it worked.

Bug#562557: console-setup: Wrong keyboard in single mode/normal boot failure
BTW readding the scripts, it look like the bug is more in console-common and that for some reason, the /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz does not get loaded. I entered rescue mode again and did the loadkeys /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz and got my french keyboard back.
