We (D-I team) have an old bug lying in kbd-chooser bug log for Oldworld Powermac installs: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=269653
Given that kbd-chooser and the installer have changed a lot since then, it's pretty much likely that the bug is away. May someone try reproducing it with a recent installer image such as D-I Etch beta2 (http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer)? Bug summary: "During the language/keyboard choice phase, I took all the defaults (Language->English, Region->UnitedStates, KeyboardType->USB) until it came to the Keymap choice. There the default was "European". This is *not* what I expected -- or what was the default behavior in the past! Having done everything possible to indicate that I was in the USA and speaking English, I would have expected the default keymap to be AmericanEnglish." The machine is a PowerMac 6500/225. --
