Package: kbd-chooser
Version: 1.16
Severity: normal

kbd-chooser contains several files which were taken from the kbd package
and hacked up for use in d-i. These files are now quite out of date
(they date from kbd 1.08, while the current upstream version is 1.12),
and it's unclear whether or indeed how to merge upstream changes back
into kbd-chooser. I've been trying to track down some problems with
Unicode input, and it would be much easier to figure out what's going on
if we were using approximately the same code in the installer as we are
in the installed system.

Ideally, the kbd source package would produce a suitable udeb (maybe
containing a library that kbd-chooser can link to, to save the overhead
of an additional executable?), but I don't know kbd-chooser's exact
requirements so I'm filing this bug here first.

Thanks,
