Err, having to enter boot line parameters in order to have a
decent keyboard does not seem to be an option to me.  (Even if
it works in this particular case since the keyboard layout is
qwerty)

The keyboard question must be asked, or at least user must be
told that his locale setting assumes some default values
(which are printed at that point), and he has to lower debconf
priority in order to change it.  But I really do not understand
why you insist on not displaying this question, which makes
installation much more painful, as already told by bugreports.
