Package: live-installer
Severity: serious
Version: 27
Tags: patch
Owner: debian-live@lists.debian.org
As it is now, live-installer fails in providing a proper keyboard configuration
in the installed system, in fact it fails in propagating kbd-chooser debconf
values.
Something changed in how console-setup-udeb is handled in d-i, and for squeeze
i found that depending on it and invoking the postinst would succeed.
Note that live-build fails to provide console-setup-udeb (fixed in git)
available in "pool/" and since console-setup-udeb is not available anymore in
the initrd, to test this patch you need to fix live-build exclude-udeb or
provide a console-setup-udeb in some way.
Patch attached.
