Bug#543227: debian-installer: keyboard layout not set in installed system

[Robert Becker <rbecker7490@yahoo.com>]

Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n


I used the debian-502a-i386-netinst.iso to install Debian in a 
VirtualBox. I chose German localization (language and keyboard layout) 
and selected the default in all other questions. When I boot into my freshly
installed system, the keymap layout is set not to German, but to U.S. 
English. I can't even enter my password at the gdm login screen, because 
my password contains a "z" character, unless I press "y" for "z". (The 
German keyboard layout has "z" where the U.S. English layout has "y" and 
vice versa)
