I didn't saw this bug report. Meanwhile, the simplicity shouldn't go
against usability, no ?
What I see is that such a keymap is about 2,5 kb ; we can also build it
dynamically from Xorg definitions using console-setup and xkb-data (these
packages
are already in the debian-wheezy-DI-b3-amd64-i386-netinst.iso), so it
could be doable with adding a so big amount of data to the installer,
no ? From my understand of debian-installer, these keyboard layouts are
stored in the initrd.gz, isn't it ? but I didn't find exactly where).
On the contrary, doing the Debian system installation without the
correct keyboard mapping turns this operation more difficult (try to do
an installation choosing a very different layout from yours), giving
root password [without visual feedback] is quite a challenge ! and
setting the right layout after installation isn't the easiest task,
depending on the target desktop.
The user experience & simplicity should be prefered if possible from
tool simplicity, isn't it ?
with regards,
Fred.
