I am reassigning (a clone of) this bug back to debian-installer.  The 
submitter wants an indicator showing the active layout as in the 
following picture:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=39;filename=layout-indicator.png;att=1;bug=692459

Since some laptops lack ScrollLock led, regardless of the support of 
this led by the kernel, something similar definitely will be useful for 
the text mode installer too.  Unfortunately, I don't see an easy way to 
implement this in text mode.
