The upgrade scripts do lots to preserve configuration changes, but the option
* keyboard-configuration/unsupported_config_options: false
has a much longer lifespan than it seems it should. Answering <false> to the
debconf prompt below means that it will clobber the options on every upgrade,
although the intention seems to be that it would only affect the initial
interactive migration from debian-installer or XOrg settings.
_Description: Keep current keyboard options in the configuration file?
The current keyboard options in the configuration file
/etc/default/keyboard are defined as XKBOPTIONS="${XKBOPTIONS}".
de: "Aktuelle Optionen der Tastaturbelegung in der Konfigurationsdatei behalten?"
I'm not working further on this bug, because I think the maintainer will have a
much better idea of the best place to change the .config script.
