I see.

With bug 619711 in mind now: someone still has to set KEYMAP=y in the
initramfs config file before the last initramfs update before reboot (so
the keymap has a real chance to be in effect on first boot afert
installation).  The only one who can do that is the installer in my
eyes.  Not?

Jérémy seems to understand that sentence but honetsly I don't.  Could
you elaborate?
