I assume this is with a daily built CD-based image? If it was a netboot of 
floppy image the reason could be there.

Nothing has really changed with regard to keyboards in d-i. If there have 
been changes, they must have been in console-data (where d-i takes its 
keyboard definitions from), but I see no real changes in its changelog.

The only cause I can think of in d-i is maybe a difference between the 2.4 
and 2.6 kernel.

There have also been some changes in localechooser that could maybe cause 
this.

Tracing this will probably take a bit of work (unless anybody else has a 
better idea of the probable cause).

To narrow down the cause of the problem, could you see if Cyrillic 
characters work with the following:
- daily built image booted with install
- daily built image booted with install24
- Etch Beta1 image booted with install
- Sarge official image booted with linux
- Sarge official image booted with linux26

For each case, please check in the syslog what exact keyboard type and 
keymap were selected: 'grep "kbd-chooser.[0-9]*.:" /var/log/syslog'.

Cheers,
FJP
