Currently the keyboard config is taken from kubuntu-mobile-n900-integration_0.1_all.deb
IDK how to fix the locale error yet, maybe try LC_ALL="en". Anyway, it's really very insignificant AFAIU.
UPDATE: It just got past the acpid without any errors. Also, I've noticed an upstart upgrade during the dist-upgrade. Maybe try without dist-upgrade if the installation is broken.
