Package: keyboard-configuration Version: 1.164 Followup-For: Bug #792823 Dear Maintainer,
problem still persists in Stretch. To reproduce, add the following option to the kernel command line while booting the <http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/9.0.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-9.0.0-amd64-netinst.iso> installer: keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap=de(nodeadkeys) This will result in both the installer and the installed system using a default us keyboard layout. A deeper investigation found that it is the call to db_go in line 1346 of the debian/keyboard-configuration.config file that erases the unrecognized setting. It is also not possible to preseed the installer with a "basic" setting for keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap and the installed system with a more advanced setup via the internal keyboard-configuration/layoutcode and keyboard-configuration/variantcode settings: their values overwrite xkb-keymap in line 1235 of the script. My current workaround is to configure the installed system via preseed/late_command, using sed to edit /etc/default/keyboard in the target. But that is less than ideal...
