I must say I find this annoying as well, the Icelandic Dvorak Keyboard
layout is also missing, so my installation of Debian always goes like
this:

 1. I choose "Dvorak"
 2. I can't type my real name when I create a user, I type "whatever" instead
 3. I'm limited in the passwords I can pick

Then after installation I have to go and manually adjust these
settings once I have the keyboard layout I want.

I hadn't bothered with looking into whether this was a
debian-installer bug before, I just assumed that it was an issue in
the layout not being available.

I think a much better way to deal with this would be to have a way to
collapse these options. So when you select e.g. "Norwegian" you get a
second dialog where you can select the keyboard type, i.e. standard,
dvorak etc.

Or just list them all, the "region and language" dialog in GNOME does
so and users don't get too confused by that.
