Well... It doesn't do this on Wheezy, so it would seem that there's a regression or bug *somewhere*. Whether or not filing a bug report (but against what package?) constitutes a "trick" is not worth debating...
So, is the bug in dpkg-reconfigure? Or is it in keyboard-configuration? Or somewhere else?
How to track it down?
For what it's worth, if I do "dpkg-reconfigure libpaper1" I get the question I expect to see, asking what I want the default printer-paper size to be. So dpkg-reconfigure isn't completely broken all by itself. The bug that prevents me from seeing the questions must be somewhere in the interaction between it and the "keyboard-configuration" package...
Fascinating...
Rick
