The "croat" keymap is actually the same as "sr" (if "sr" provides latin), see [1]. I putted "croat" in localization for sr@latin, because I didn't know that there is a Serbian latin option (because in Serbia we still use YU label for that keymap). If thats the case, then please change "croat" to "sr", and sorry for the trouble. > On the other hand, console-setup, when installed, chooses keymaps > settings depending on the locale: > > sr_*) > XKBLAYOUT=cs,cs # Serbia and Montenegro > XKBVARIANT=latin,basic > layout_priority=critical > ;; > > > So, that explains what you're seeing.

I've never seen that there are keyboards with cyrillic layout selling in Serbia. I couldn't find it on the internet neither, only the software version. So, replacing the current "sr-cy" keymap in console-data udeb by "sr" seems like a good idea, at least until we switch to console-setup. For more information checkout [1].
