I've no idea if this is the best bug to add my experiences to - the title sums up my experiences, though - but upon installing Feisty, the console doesn't handle my Norwegian keyboard properly. The æ, ø, å keys are detected, but they print combinations of bizarre characters. Perhaps by changing my locales to ISO-8859-15 I've made this problem worse, but despite following advice around locale and console configuration, I think it's really an issue with the console font and/or character encoding. I've done the following:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf (although I edited the /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale files before, anyway)

I rebooted several times.

Interestingly, the advice to bug #83487 (run setupcon) fixes the problems and provides the correct fonts, but it's a surprise that I should have to do this after all of the above.
