Maybe they should … if they have a chance to see "bépo/dvorak" some where.

Done.

Just a point, you can't say adding all layouts will confuse users.
Because, for some (ok, few) users it's moooore complex to install Debian
with a azerty layout … (username, password, hostname, domain name,
Logical Volume name >6 … arg, … …) than other distributions.

We are not more stupid than Ubuntu's users. It is the fact of hiding
information that makes us stupid (just take a look on many new gui …
firefox, gnome, …).

Anyway, if stats/experiences shows adding dialog box is too complex,
Debian has a really good "Expert install" for that :)


For the size of the non-standard layouts, there is absolutely no other
alternate way to add it? Only for the cd iso (or the dvd) for example?
