Bug#600490: debian-installer: If you choose JP106 key layout, you'll be asked keyboard layout again
Hi lads
Sorry for delay with the answer.
I dropped all national-specific models because they are supposed to be
covered by the rules. If user choses Japanese layout, proper geometries
should be picked (if not - that's a bug).
People should not pick national-specific models, especially now that all
keycodes are covered by evdev - the only difference is geometry which
has no functional value.
Why do people need jp106?
