As I don't run a desktop (window manager only -- Openbox) on my very custom installed Wheezy 64-bit system, I can't follow your menu request, but 'debconf-show keyboard-configuration' reports: * keyboard-configuration/modelcode: pc105 keyboard-configuration/unsupported_config_options: true keyboard-configuration/unsupported_config_layout: true * keyboard-configuration/toggle: No toggling * keyboard-configuration/compose: No compose key * keyboard-configuration/layout: * keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap: us * keyboard-configuration/variant: English (US) debian-installer/console-setup-udeb/title: * keyboard-configuration/switch: No temporary switch keyboard-configuration/unsupported_options: true * keyboard-configuration/altgr: The default for the keyboard layout keyboard-configuration/ctrl_alt_bksp: false keyboard-configuration/unsupported_layout: true * keyboard-configuration/variantcode: * keyboard-configuration/model: Generic 105-key (Intl) PC * keyboard-configuration/layoutcode: us * keyboard-configuration/other: * keyboard-configuration/store_defaults_in_debconf_db: true * keyboard-configuration/optionscode: This was the keyboard type the installer picked when I installed Wheezy. I saw reason to change it. The keyboard itself is a Kensington Keyboard for Life that has to be at least 6 years old, and I've been using it on this system I build about 9 years ago which has gone through numerous hardware upgrades and OSes in those 9 years.
