Hi,
If you choose JP106 key layout with d-i, you'll be asked keyboard
layout again and there is no suitable layout.
Problem:
If you select JP106 Key layout in "Select a keyboard layout" menu,
you would be asked keyboard layout TWICE, and there is no suitable
item in that second list.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Step to reproduce
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1. select keymap: Japan (106 key)
2. after disk partitioning dialog, then asked keyboard model again.
However, there is no "jp106" model that previously selected in that list
(it comes from keyboard-configuration pacakge?). So, I confused but
selected "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC" as a workaround. I don't know whether
it's best choise or not.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Expected behaivor
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1. select jp106 key layout
2. then it never asked it to me again
