Bug#920483: The keyboard layout displays “us” whatever the current layout until a key is pressed

[Dennis Filder <d.filder@web.de>]

Control: tags -1 patch

The attached patch fixed the issue for me for 0.18.0-1, but should
also work for 0.18.1-1.  It requires 2 additional dependencies on
x11-xkb-utils and xinput.

Regards,
Dennis.

Description: Set keymaps for virtual devices before login prompt.
 For this to work Depends: on x11-xkb-utils and xinput are needed.
