However, before loading preseed.cfg, installer asks for computer name: I
would like this question to be asked in French and more importantly to
have the keyboard layout configured in French.
I have tried many boot parameters (layout=fr, layout=fr(latin9),
language=fr, language=fr_FR.UTF-8…) but could not find anything working.
After answering this question, preseed.cfg is loaded so language and
keyboard layout are properly applied.
It's a well known bug unfortunately
I have asked the same question some time ago on the French debian-user
list, and frederic boiteux gave me some interesting clues.
You may search for this thread :
"Configurer un clavier français via preseed"
A similar bug was reported with an Hungarian keyboard, without any fixes
so far.

Thanks for the information. However I just checked by doing a fresh
installation with BIOS PXE boot, di-netboot-assistant and a preseed file
served by TFTP: locale and keyboard layout are properly applied:
- during install once preseed.cfg is loaded
- after reboot
If it can help, here is the interesting part of the preseed.cfg file:
d-i debian-installer/language string fr
d-i debian-installer/country string FR
d-i debian-installer/locale string fr_FR.UTF-8
d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select fr(latin9)
d-i time/zone string Europe/Paris
