I am an European living in Canada. I am using a "US international"
kbd layout. Originally it was called "US latin-1", and besides the fact
that it didn't include the euro symbol (which is normal for latin-1)
it was not even able to produce some accented characters correctly (I
speak and write in French, and am still in contact with Europeans).

I have modified it and obtained a keymap that is both
Latin-[09]/ISO-8859-15 compliant. I have filled a bug report against
console-data (90642), including a patch, and after 48 days this has
still not be fixed. I did not even receive an aknowledgment from the
package maintainer.

So, yes Debian is a volunteer organization. But some volunteers
(maintainers) should "volonteer" more than volunteers who send
patches.
