Hi Guido,

I did several serial installs already and kbd detection really isn't a
problem there.  It's easy to work around anyway (one can even preseed
it in the Lenny installer), I've just raised the issue so that we can
eliminate a superfluous workaround.  Running kbd-chooser in a virtual
machine just doesn't make sense after all.  At least I think so...
But maybe newer Xens solve this issue anyway.
