The xserver-xfree86.config script has no mechanism for automatically
answering the XkbVariant debconf question. If "sv" ended up in there,
it must be because you typed it.
If you dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 again and make sure you
backspace over the "sv", is the XF86Config-4 file written as you would
expect?
