Sorry, but I don't understand this [1] at all. You seem to be saying that we will still need kbd-chooser in D-I and at the same time that the console-setup udebs replace it... Could you explain again what will be used to select a keymap in the installer when we switch to console-setup? Does console-setup provide something that replaces kbd-chooser? I don't think we should make any changes before this is clear. If we make a switch to console-setup, we should IMO make it for both the installer itself and for the installed system, and also for all languages. Using both will only create a maintenance and troubleshooting nightmare. To be honest, I'm less worried about translation issues. Getting that working should be relatively easy once we have the technical part implemented. Cheers, FJP [1] Talking about "first stage" does not really make any sense anymore. The whole installation now takes place before the reboot: there is no longer a "second stage" with base-config. It _does_ make sense to distinguish between things that happen in the D-I environment and in the /target chroot.
