This can be done *after* the install: dpkg-reconfigure console-data

And we will not do what you suggest as this would lead to a very
confusing list of dozens of keymaps.

For sure, the console-keymaps-usb lists "mac-usb-it" as defatul keymap
for Italian, so I guess that this explains what you see.

What I'm unsure of is: are *default* Italian keyboard for PPC machines
QWERTY ones ? Or do *you* happen to use a QWERTY keyboard, that is an
US keyboard ?

If the latter, then why didn't you just choose the US or "American"
layout?
