Hmmm, I made this proposal in debian-*-french lists...and there was kind of general agreement. But maybe lot of people didn't have all the needed information.

We still have time for changing the default (or removing one....I'm still wondering whether keeping two very similar keyboard maps is a good idea) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
