Clearly no-one with any traction at #Debian installs packages in a full-screen kernel virtual terminal in a UTF-8 locale. I can tell because the apt-get 'fancy' progress bar is broken.

It uses several Unicode block characters to draw partial bars. These characters do not exist in the Unicode fonts in the console-setup-linux fonts pack, so the end of the bar comes out as the blob replacement glyph.

I don't use KVTs either, which is why I hadn't noticed until now.
