Oh! And it dawns on me right after writing this, looking back at that
doc I cited earlier -- here's that URL again:
http://live.debian.net/manual-3.x/html/live-manual/customizing-run-time-behaviours.en.html#510
Above, you cited two packages that are indeed components of keyboard
setup but according to our doc are insufficient in and of themselves to
accomplish it. I quote:
"Both the console and X keyboard configuration are performed by
live-config using the console-setup package."
So if you don't have console-setup, you won't get the keyboard
configuration. I rather suspect that's the case if you do a vanilla live
image (i.e. with no package list specified). console-setup is Priority:
optional, so we may even have a problem here with the standard config at:
http://live.debian.net/gitweb/?p=debian-standard.git;a=summary
I'm not seeing anything in config/package-lists/ that would pull in
console-setup. If you use one of the desktop configs, however, that
would probably pull in console-setup as a dependency of the desktop.
If that's the case, I propose we add console-setup to a new
config/package-lists/console.list.chroot, and use that in
debian-desktop.git as well.
