I think that what he wants (and I tend to agree) is to limit *at package
build time* what keymaps are shown *during an install*.
Personally I don't have any problem with c-s offering the full 200.000
keymap variants when a user reconfigures c-s on an installed system. But
during installation you have to somehow limit the choices, at least what
is displayed by default for a specific country selected in localechooser,
to a sane reduced list.
I suggest you wait for my next test results and user interface proposal.
I would appreciate having a new test image with the latest uploaded
version before that.
BTW, did you already fix the bug in Christian's last posted image where
<go back> in the first dialog and the dialog after "other" results in an
error? I also saw that the default for the encoding is no longer set
correctly in that image.
