Hello Uwe,

Since you reported this, I hadn't been able to test D-I myself and try
reproducing this issue.

Today, I finally could....but couldn't reproduce it. I booted the
daily built *netboot* image, then did choose French as install
language and French keymap.

Apart from a weird prompting during the base system install (the
system re-prompts for the keymap but properly defaulted to "France"),
I easily completed the install...and the installed system had a
working french keymap.

So, I need to refine your report in order to understand why you
experienced the problem.

First of all, could you re-test with a daily built image downloaded
from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. I would recommend
choosing the businesscard image, or even a netboot image (under "other
images").

Then, what keymap did you choose? I guess this was a German
keymap...can you confirm?
