When setupcon -k runs during startup on my Power Mac G3, the shift lock LEDs
on the keyboard stop updating. Changing the keymap from the default to
"Macintosh" does not seem to help.

I was able to reproduce this behaviour by booting into recovery mode (-b) and
running setupcon -k from the console.

Oh dear. I wonder if simply disabling the init.d entry containing setupcon
-k would be an effective workaround, as I don't need to enter special
characters on the console. I can't try it right this moment, but I'll play
with it tonight and see what happens.

I think this is a duplicate of a known and difficult to fix bug:

An alternative I would use is to add a line

KMAP=/usr/share/keymaps/PUT_YOUR_FAVOURITE_KEYMAP_HERE

to /etc/default/keyboard.
