>From the short test I made it seems keyboards whose long description 
contains commas are rejected because Deconf protocol uses commas as 
separators.  I can fix this by replacing commas by semicolons, but I'd 
like to ask first people on debian-boot: is there some prefix I can use 
in order to keep commas there?  The solution would need to work both 
with debconf and cdebconf.
