Bug#840209: console-setup: fails to change keyboard layout in d-i

[Samuel Thibault <sthibault@debian.org>]

Source: console-setup
Version: 1.150
Severity: important

Hello,

I've tried the daily netboot debian-installer today, and console-setup
doesn't automatically preselect the right layout and didn't actually
change the layout after I select the right layout. For instance, boot
netboot from

https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/amd64/daily/netboot/mini.iso

select french language, and France country. At the keyboard layout
screen the french layout should be already the default but it defaults
to US. Choosing the french layout does not actually change the layout:
the qwerty 'q' remains a 'q', and not an azerty 'a'.

Samuel
