OK, I'll build 2.1.7 in a few days.

I'm not building boot floppies versions in other languages because I
can't test them. Not all the translations are up-to-date, and trying to
build rescue floppies in 9 languages on the same "debian/rules build" run
probably won't work. (Also, currently one has to define the language on
the Makefile. I may modify it easily to go through the list of available
languages building a rescue floppy for each, but I haven't done it yet).

I see. As you know more about those keyboards than I do, I'll accept your
suggestion and remove it.
