 which are the two questions I actually see asked when running
 dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration.

While I was preparing version 1.90 I didn't like how the preceeding 
worked in c-s.  However I decided the changes I wanted to do are not 
appropriate before the release of the new stable Debian, so I postponed 
them.  What I did is a code that simply emulated the old behaviour.

Regarding the use of different preseeding values for d-i and for 
keyboard-configuration - I must admit it didn't occur to me that this 
can be an useful feature so this is not supported by the current code.

Aow, right, sorry.  I was mislead by the posting to debian-boot.

   Having a de deadkeys in d-i would be acceptable but not in the
   final system.
  
  Our current Debian policy is that the user can reconfigure the keyboard
  after installation.
 
 I know they can - But i try to automate the installation via
 autoinstall/preseeding. This was no problem since etch and wheezy now
 fails to provide preseeding capabilities?

preseeding de-latin1-nodeadkeys

2013-05-14 Thread Florian Lohoff

Hi,

i fail to preseed a  de-latin1-nodeadkeys keymap into the Wheezy
d-i. Having a de deadkeys in d-i would be acceptable but not in the
final system.

When i put 

language=en country=DE locale=en_US.UTF-8

on the tftp command line i get a german deadkeys layout. Loading a
preseed.cfg with

keyboard-configuration  keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap   select de
keyboard-configuration  keyboard-configuration/variant  select  German - German 
(eliminate dead keys)
keyboard-configuration  keyboard-configuration/variantcode  string 
nodeadkeys

Or the whole of keyboard-configuration does not help. I am little
puzzled on which preseed conf items i must set ...
