In Debian Installer, I can't select Bépo keyboard layout :(

Bépo poject page : http://bepo.fr/
Debian package : http://bepo.fr/wiki/Paquets_Debian

Bépo keyboard layout is already by default in Ubuntu since some years ago.

Best regards,
Stephane

Ok, I understand memory constraints… maybe it is possible to offer to version of
installer ? One minimal version to small memory support and another extended
support ?

I'm not agree with "too many options that are confusing for users".
See Ubuntu example, it's very easy to use.

It's very boring to :

* enter "domain name" with bad keyboard layout
* enter "user name" with bad keyboard layout
* enter "pasword" with bad keyboard layout

What do you think with the idea of two Debian installer version ? small and
extended ?

Regards,
Stephane
