Although it is highly probable console-setup is not behaving itself with
url and file preseeding, I'm not entirely convinced it is the root cause
of this bug, On Squeeze, url= works with auto=true but file= doesn't.
Please see #696857.

Today's mini.iso at http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/i386/ is built
with console-setup-udeb 1.89 and appears to fix #693956. However, while
using keymap=gb produces XKBLAYOUT="gb" in /etc/default/keyboard, the
kernel command line option keymap=uk gives XKBLAYOUT="", resulting in a
us keyboard layout.

Also, with

   auto=true url=file:///mnt/./preseed.cfg priority=high

and

   d-i keymap select de

in preseed.cfg the keyboard question pops up after the network has been
configured. Please note the change from file= in the submitted report to
url= here.

Brian.
