That seems to ring a bell here:
some weeks ago I had some writing with Phil Hands, and
that lead to me noticing, that kbd-chooser is included in our
netboot images and as well in mini.iso images built by Phil's
branch2repo CI on Salsa.
I wonder how or why kbd-chooser is included in that images?
There seems to be another mechanism for building d-i images,
besides the above mentioned
<https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/debian-installer/-/tree/master/build/config?ref_type=heads>
That will be debian-cd I guess, but I couldn't find any mention
of kbd-chooser in debian-cd...
At that point I stumbled and later forgot about this.
Will debian-cd builds break, when kbd-chooser is removed from
the archive?
