The retention of console-setup in xenial-proposed is causing a side-effect on 
ubiquity [2.21.63.5] installation which depend specifically on that 
1.108ubuntu15.4 version[1].
IMHO ubiquity should have been put on hold as well to make sure console-setup 
and ubiquity were release at the same time.

If the hang cannot be fix soon, meaning that console-setup will stay in 
-proposed for a while or maybe eventually drop ? 
Maybe we should consider rolling back ubiquity to use console-setup 
1.108ubuntu15.3 ? to at least unblock the dependencies created by last 
console-setup change[2]

Note: If we activate xenial-proposed and then install ubiquity, it works
because the dependency is met.

Thoughts ?
