This is a Debian bug number: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1038762. However, the broader change here is that Debian (and now in Ubuntu), we stopped carrying a patch that had support for Debian specific config files (/etc/default/keyboard, /etc/default/locale, etc.). Ultimately, we would like to be able to just use /etc/vconsole.conf, but things are not there yet, and this error message is a stop-gap to indicate that.

I will check in with Debian maintainers on this. In the mean time, I guess it would be best for cloud-init to use Debian-specific ways to update the keyboard layout, i.e. see https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lunar/en/man5/keyboard.5.html.
