Yes, switching back to the console-setup way as it is now would definitely be seen as a regression by our regular users .....and so would be the use of the keyboard recognition stuff from Ubuntu. BTW, all this does not solve the major issue we have with regards of c-s i18n. As it is now, I personnally would just veto its use because of the country names/layout/model/variant not being localized. So, I more or less see the following way if we really want to use c-s: - define a "restricted set" of "common keymaps" which would be offerred as an immediate choice in a single list (more or less the way it's currently done with kbd-chooser) - make all this internationalized - add an "Other" choice that would switch to either the Ubuntu keyboard recognition stuff or to the current layout/model/variant questions of c-s (but that also needs i18n) Quite a huge work, indeed....
