Hi.

2 workarounds:

(1) Alter the kernel commandline (thanks Frans Pop):

At the kernel command-line (SILO prompt) add these arguments:

        languagechooser/language-name=English
        countrychooser/shortlist=US
        languagechooser/language-name=English
        countrychooser/shortlist=US
        console-keymaps-sun/keymap=sunkeymap

so the whole commandline will look like (no line breaks):

linux languagechooser/language-name=English countrychooser/shortlist=US 
languagechooser/language-name=English countrychooser/shortlist=US 
console-keymaps-sun/keymap=sunkeymap



(2) After the bootup, press Return 3 times:

        (a) When the installer boots, find a key that functions as
        Return (Right Arrow here; if this doesn't work for you, mess
        with it for a while, find it, reboot).

        (b) Using this, select the default entry at the first three
        screens (English, US, US keyboard).  Now that you've selected
        the US keyboard, the keyboard layout is OK.
        
        (c) If you're not entirely happy with this
        country/language/keyboard selection, restart the installation
        process (e.g. by Alt-F2 switching to tty2, Return activating the
        shell, kill -9 debian-installer, Alt-F1 switching back).

HTH.
