Package: debian-installer
Version: squeeze
I understand that it is possible to select it after installation and run dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

But the problem is to set the password, or encryption, where it is useful, this layout is widely used in Brazil, please include it in the list of available keyboards.

The attached file is the layout I'm talking about.

Sorry but, just like other request for including Yet Another Dvorak
Layout in Debian Installer, I'll close this one.

Adding support for more keymaps in D-I has a cost in terms of memory
consumption, size of the installer (consider translations)....and it
has been decided long time ago that D-I will support the most common
keymaps for various languages and countries, hence a reduced set from
what is available in console-setup.

And alternative keymaps like Dvorak are not "the most common". By
far. I haven't been enough in Brazil but I would very much doubt that
the average Brazilian corporation (or university, or school far away
in the Amazonas) has anything else than Brazilian ABNT-2 or eventually
US keymaps. Just like I'm still waiting to see a Dvorak keymap
elsewhere than the desk of a French geek..:-)

We respect the will of some users to use some supposedly more
ergonomic keymaps like Dvorak or Bépo....but for most of them, they
are easily able to switch the system's default keymap after install by
running "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration".
