I leave the entire discussion quoted for reference to console-data and xorg packages maintainers. In short: - users from Canada need to be able to choose the "Canadian multilingual" keymap - there is no such keymap in console-data - there is a "xmap=ca, variant=multi" keymap in X - we need the console-data maintainers to created ca-multi - we need xserver-xorg postinst script to choose the ca xmap with multi variant when the DI keymap is "ca-multi" Hence manipulating bugs to get such result. --
