Yes. Thank you for reporting this. :)

This is how I would fix the nl keyboard:
--- nl 2010-02-18 17:30:07.579312728 +0200
+++ nl.new 2010-02-18 17:39:15.547313938 +0200

};
+partial alphanumeric_keys
+xkb_symbols "us" {
+
+ include "us(altgr-intl)"
+
+ name[Group1]= "Netherlands - USA International";
+
+ include "level3(ralt_switch)"
+
+};
+
I chose a variant without deadkeys in levels 1 and 2 (I suppose this is
what the people want). AltGr combinations can be used to produce
deadkeys. If this is not desirable then "ralt_alt" should be used
instead of "ralt_switch".

No. In my personal TODO list there is only one remaining thing:
currently c-s doesn't support some exotic configurations, such as two or
more compose-keys.
#532852 and #568645 are two wishlist bugs that are not related to the
installer and there is no urgency to fix them. However, #535834 is an
important one with no obvious solution - if the keyboard model is not
standard PC then some combinations are ivalid. In order to fix (at
least partialy) this problem, by default console-setup uses PC keyboard
model for macs too. This means that the default choice in keyboard
selection menu will be a non-mac layout.
The udebs are not tested (at all) but I don't expect bugs with difficult
fix here.
