A system installed with d-i (and with base-config still installed) will
have a debian-installer/keymap item in the debconf database. The value
of that item will be the keymap the user chose, something like "us" or
"dvorak", or "de-latin1-nodeadkeys". 

To map this to a keymap from /usr/share/keymaps/ and set up the console
keymap, we use this method:

        db_get debian-installer/keymap
        KEYMAP=$(find /usr/share/keymaps/ -name "$RET.kmap*")

        if [ ! -z "$KEYMAP" ]; then
                install-keymap $KEYMAP >/dev/null || true
        fi

I have no idea what will be feasable to do with X keymaps.
