Could this keyboard mapping problem be causing the infinite loop in the installer menu?

I would have to dig into the source code first. I have commit access
for that repository, but there are tons of instances of "macintosh_old"
in the Code.
Do you know whether this change is sufficient?

Looking at debian/rules, it seems the package could need a lot
of clean-up.
