Bug#185844: Setting keyboard at boot time



I noticed the changes to rootskel in CVS.  I do not think it is
required to modify rootskel to be able to set the keyboard at boot
time.  When d-i boots, the /etc/init.d/rcS script executes this code:

  if [ -d /etc/rcS.d ]; then
      for script in /etc/rcS.d/S[0-9][0-9]*; do
          [ -x "$script" ] && $script
      done
  fi

Adding the following script in kbd-chooser as
/etc/rcS.d/S50kbd-chooser (or something similar) should solve the
problem:

  #!/bin/sh
  kbdchooser=/usr/bin/kbd-chooser
  # Set the kbd early, if necessary
  if [ -x "$kbdchooser" -a "$bootkbd" ] ; then
     $kbdchooser $bootkbd
  fi

I believe this is a better place to fix bug #185844.  Please test at
let me know if this work.  I will remove the changes from rootskel if
this work.
