I have experienced exactly the same problem, and I filed a bug: http://bugs.debian.org/257515 I am about to add some information to that bug however, as I have managed to fix the problem. For me, it seems the 'ukgb' keymap which previously did work, now does not. Either 'gb' or 'uk' does though. I would understand if the ukgb map was renamed or deleted, but to have it half-work is bizarre. -- Jon Dowland dowland@gmail.com
