Can you be more specific ?
Do you mean you were given this option at the main-menu, which
then did nothing? or you were given a kbd-chooser screen,
and if so what did it show, and what happened?
What is supposed to happen in this instance is that kbd-chooser,
when run on a serial-console system, will autodetect the
serial console and quit, unless DEBCONF_PRIORITY=low, in which case you get
to configure a keyboard if it is present.
This should mean you don't actually get to see a kbd-chooser
screen on a serial-console machine in the "normal flow",
when DEBCONF_PRIORITY=high
(Its now looking for "console=ttyS*" on /proc/cmdline to see if a serial console
is used).
