This has been reported many times (see #238778, for example) and the Debian X Strike Force knows it's a problem. I've also communicated with Joey Hess about it. The main challenge here, as I understand it, is that d-i basically uses console-data's paradigm for keyboard description. So what we need is a gigantic mapping table in xserver-xfree86.config to translate console-data keyboard descriptions into XKB Rules/Model/Layout(/Variant?) tuples. -- G.
