Use be2-latin1 as default for BE (instead of be-latin1)?

retitle 232116 Use be2-latin1 as default for BE (instead of be-latin1)?
thanks

I have copied the bit below from the history of this report.
The current default for nl_BE _is_ be-latin1, so the question seems to be: 
should the default be switched to be2-latin1?

Both layouts are available when I run 'dpkg-reconfigure console-data'
Choosing 'azerty -> Belgian -> Standard' gives two choices:
- Alternate (maps to be2-latin1)
- Standard (maps to be-latin1)
('Alternate' is listed first; does this indicate preference?)

Questions
=========
Does anyone on the d-l10n-dutch list have experiences with both variants?
Which is preferred?
Do all Belgian azerty keyboards have identical layouts or are there 
variations? If any, which of the two maps supports all variations best?

Cheers,
