This could be an option, but using debconf for this is probably not the
correct solution ("debconf abuse").
Couldn't the frontend "listen" on a named pipe for keyboard change
triggers, or something like that? kbd-chooser could then check if that
pipe exists and write something to that to indicate a keymap change.
Note that as we intend to switch to console-setup, that would have to be
made to support this mechanism too.
Disclaimer: as this is totally outside my scope, the responsibility to
translate this the the correct technical terms and implementation has to
lie with others.
