Just to add my tuppence to the religious wars on the use of \ for repeat search in dselect, please note that \ is one of those odd characters that isn't in the same place on all keyboards. Consequently, most people in the U.K., for example, who've just installed debian from scratch, will have to try and find \ while sitting in a dselect screen.
While I was slightly non-plussed (or non-\ed!) about not configuring the keyboard during floppy installation (which used to come just before the timezone), I was more surprised that the kbd package (required base) didn't query about it when it was installed. (At this stage, most beginners probably won't have wanted to search in dselect, but just accepted its initial suggestion.) Do you think this should be added to the kbd installation script?
