[Simple-cdd-devel] Bug#635744: simple-cdd: keyboard layout selected during installation is not applied

[Jörg Ludwig]

Package: simple-cdd
Version: 0.3.13
Severity: important

- Run build-simple-cdd in an empty folder without configuration.
- Install the debian-6.0.2-amd64-CD-1.iso in VirtualBox OSE 4.0.4.
- Select German keyboard layout.
- Finish installation and reboot.
- Keyboard layout is US. :(

Some files from the newly installed system:

/var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat:
Name: console-keymaps-at/keymap
Template: console-keymaps-at/keymap
Value: de-latin1-nodeadkeys

/etc/default/keyboard:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="de"
XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys"
XKBOPTIONS=""

/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf:
KEYMAP=n

The package kbd is not installed, so loadkeys is not available. But even 
if you install console-common manually, the keyboard layout is not set 
at system startup.
