Side question while reading this bug report:
Would this make sense to change the es.kmap and la-latin1.kmap keymaps
from console-data (which are used at the console, and during D-I)
accordingly:
bubulle@mykerinos:~/src/debian/console-data/console-data-1.03/keymaps/i386/qwerty> grep -i tilde es.kmap
! Spanish keymap, note the spanish IBM keyboard lacks an ascitilde (~), I
! have used ALT-Gr 4 as per IBM/AIX and some sun keyboards. ascitilde is also
keycode 5 = four dollar asciitilde
keycode 13 = exclamdown questiondown asciitilde
keycode 39 = +ntilde +Ntilde
shift alt keycode 43 = Meta_asciitilde
bubulle@mykerinos:~/src/debian/console-data/console-data-1.03/keymaps/i386/qwerty> grep -i tilde la-latin1.kmap
keycode 27 = plus asterisk asciitilde
keycode 39 = ntilde Ntilde
