I'm trying to deploy Debian using preseeding.
Unfortunately I'm not able to set the swiss german keyboard layout.

The append line contains the following settings:
language=en country=CH locale=en_US.UTF-8 debian-installer/keymap=de_CH keymap=de_CH

But the keymap is not set correctly.
If I switch to the second console the file /etc/default/keyboard contains:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

I also tried the setting sg-latin1:
language=en country=CH locale=en_US.UTF-8 debian-installer/keymap=sg-latin1 keymap=sg-latin1

The file /etc/default/keyboard then contains:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT=""
XKBVARIANT="de"
XKBOPTIONS=""

The same setup for swiss french seems to work.
language=en country=CH locale=en_US.UTF-8 debian-installer/keymap=fr_CH keymap=fr_CH

Contents of /etc/default/keyboard:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="ch"
XKBVARIANT="fr"
XKBOPTIONS=""


If the keymap options are not set on the append line and swiss german is selected manually it seems to work.

I used the debian-installer from the i386 netboot:
ftp://ftp.ch.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/debian-installer/i386/

I haven't tested any other installer yet.


Thanks,
Stephan

Hi,

it has been a long time, since the filing of this bug; sorry for this!

In the meantime, the issues have been dealed with, so now it works as expected,
either via adding
	language=en country=CH locale=en_US.UTF-8 keymap=ch
to the boot prompt of debian-installer

or by having these lines in your preseed.cfg file:
	d-i debian-installer/language string en
	d-i debian-installer/country string CH
	d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US.UTF-8
	d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select ch


Both lead to an installed system with Swiss keyboard layout; 
/etc/default/keyboard contains:
	XKBMODEL="pc105"
	XKBLAYOUT="ch"
	XKBVARIANT=""
	XKBOPTIONS=""

(and also the installer uses the Swiss layout during installation)


So I'm closing this bug.
Thanks for taking the time to file this bugreport.
(and sorry for the long delay!)

Holger
