In the graphical debian-installer, which is GTKDFB based, the user 
chooses his native language at a early stage, and from that point on the 
keymap must match the choosed language.
Manually reloading the keymap is an a acceptable workaround, but of 
course having DFB automatically doing that would be a better option: 
dok, could this be implemented in some future DFB release?
