Package: keyboard-layout
Version: 1.213
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading keyboard-configuration and console-setup from 1.212 to
1.213 and rebooting, I saw a "syntax error" message before my full-disk-
encryption passphrase prompt.  I then failed several times to enter a
valid passphrase; the keypresses were being handled as QWERTY instead
of Dvorak, but there was no obvious way to know this because they were
invisible.  After typing in QWERTY, I was able to boot successfully.

Running the keyboard setup script shows the error:
        # /etc/console-setup/cached_setup_keyboard.sh
        syntax error, unexpected ERROR, expecting CCHAR or UNUMBER or AS

In "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-layout" I've chosen:
 * Generic 105-key PC
 * English (US) - English (Dvorak)
 * [AltGr] The default for the keyboard layout
 * No compose key
 * No Control+Alt+Backspace

- Michael
