Hmmm, I actually don't understand what exactly is expected. Should the
keyboard *currently* proposed by d-i de replaced with that one ?

If so, is the keymap you're sending currently part of the console-data
package, chich is the source for what D-I is proposing (however, only
a subset of all possible keyboards is proposed, IIRC).....or is this a
completely new keymap ?

If this is a completely new keymap, then it should be proposed to the
console-data package maintainers (who I happen to be among, but that's
another story)


console-data currently has:

/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/it-ibm.kmap.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/it.kmap.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/it2.kmap.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/azerty/mac-usb-it.kmap.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/include/linux-with-alt-and-altgr.inc.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/include/linux-with-modeshift-altgr.inc.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/i386/include/linux-with-two-alt-keys.inc.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/amiga/amiga-it.kmap.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/mac/ibook-it.kmap.gz
/usr/share/keymaps/mac/mac-it.kmap.gz

Among which mac-usb-it.kmap.gz is proposed, from what I understand.

Do you suggest we actually add this qwerty-it keymap instead of
mac-usb-it...or in addition to it?
