Comments/Problems:
During base system install console-data pops up a dialog with a technical
dialogue about keymaps. This is supposed to be handled by the initial
language and keymap question in the installer, so I suspect a new option or
other preseeding problem.
In any event the keymap question during base install is annoying since it
means the install cannot complete until it is answered and it is somewhat
confusing to determine what option should be selected as the default (don't
touch keymap, use /xxx/console) is different than the recommended option
(show arch keymaps).
The reason for the error for the overall install is submitted as a separate
bug report since it is completely unrelated.

now I have the rest of the afternoon to sniff fragrant tea-roses or
strangle cute bunnies or something. -- Michael Devore
