Bug#577253: initramfs-tools: Keyboard is not active / detected anymore, so LVM boot passphrase entry is broken
With module hid-apple it's ok, thanks.
Furthermore, before my keymap is this prompt was for a qwerty
keyboard, and now this is the right keymap for my keyboard (a french
one). It's great, but I think it might be useful to notify users for
this change for the local keymap, after month / years with in qwerty
for the LVM prompt.
However, I don't know if this change is related to initramfs-tools
package or the last cryptsetup update (2:1.1.0-2.1), because my
current initrd image is the first one after the cryptsetup update few
days ago.
