Ah, sorry, it's not the list's fault, but I told my mailer to avoid Cc
because most people are already subscribed to debian development lists.

(or just restarting the hurd-console service)

I just quickly tried within the installer, and things does work as far
as I can tell, for instance the key on the right of 'p' produces 'å'.

I tried to reconfigure keyboard-configuration to enable the Finnish
layout, and after hurd-console restart I did get the same.

Remember: in bug reports, always describe precisely what you did, what
you obtained, and what you expected. Otherwise we have a mail ping-pong
only to manage to find out what actually is going wrongly in your case,
thus a loss of time for everybody.
