Package: kbd-chooser
Severity: grave
Followup-For: Bug #242489


This is not yet fixed, and rather urgent. I will upper the severity on
this one, since it is not acceptable that this remains unfixed so long.
I will also search for a fix, but in the meantime, it is good it is
submitted.

As is seen here, it seems that the choose_keymap code only gives an
empty string, and it is thus logical that the later loading of the
keymap fails, so this must somehow be related of the keymap_select
(arch, keymap), if not earlier. I am building a monolithic image with a
version of kbd-chooser with a bit more debug info in it to track the
problem.
