 I use Dvorak and every time I install Debian I have to hunt down keys
 on a completely different layout in order to complete the region
 etc. settings.

For which question do you need something else than just arrow keys and
enter?  I even tried to select icelandic in expert mode, and didn't need
to type anything before I got to the layout question.

 Since a keyboard is a prerequisite to operate the rest of the
 installer the very first question it should ask is which keyboard
 layout you'd like.

We believe it is already soon enough: after language/country selection
so as to pre-select a good default, and before everything else. If it's
not for some reason, please be more specific as to where you encountered
an actual issue.

Bug#662626: The keyboard layout selection should be the very first option in d-i

2012-03-07 Thread heckle
I have unsubscribed from the appropriate sites N times but they still 
keep coming. Surely there must be some way to stop them. They outnumber 
spam 20 to 1. It's driving my crackers. What is even worse, I couldn't 
get Debian working in the first place which probably let to this 
problem. Is it possible to report the bug reporting system as a bug 
itself ? It really gives a bad impression of debian.

Have you unsubscribed from debian-boot following the instructions at
the bottom of this message?

See the bug report was sent to the debian-boot list, which is sent to
lots of people.
