Package: xlibs
Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4
Severity: important
For some reason the xlibs package has a la keyboard layout corresponding to
the Laos keyboard; this is different from the rest of
the system configuration which assumes la means latinamerican. Thus, when
initially configuring the system and selecting la, one
gets a latinamerican layout in text mode, but a Laos keyboard in graphical
mode, thus rendering X effectively unusable. The workaround
is to dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and explicitly select the correct layout
which for some strange reason was renamed to latam.
This behavior should be consistent between the global layout selection and that
of X; either use the latam layout everywhere, or
rename xlib's laos keyboard to something else and return latinamerican to la.
