Greetings,

elif keyboard_present; then
    if [ "$DISPLAY" ] && which setxkbmap >/dev/null; then
        setxkbmap -option '' -model "$model" "$layout" "$variant"
"$options" || true # setting the font corrupts X
        if type setupcon >/dev/null 2>&1; then
            setupcon --save-only
            setupcon --force -k
            cat >&2 <<EOF
Your console font configuration will be updated the next time your
system boots. If you want to update it now, run 'setupcon' from a
virtual console. EOF
        fi
    else
        if type setupcon >/dev/null 2>&1; then
            setupcon --force --save # here

Running
 setupcon -v --force --save
alone hangs as well without any output.

All the best,
