Bug#515734: xinit: changes keyboard layout at gdm login screen suddenly

[Norbert Preining <preining@logic.at>]

Package: xinit
Version: 1.1.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: breaks unrelated programs

Hi all,

I am not sure if this is the right package to report this error, but
after the big upgrade bunch after lenny release suddenly my gdm login
window has a different keyboard mapping (qwerty instead of qwertz).
That is not a fine surprise, especially since in my xorg.conf file it is
explicitely stated that I want German keyboard layout
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout" "de"
        Option 		"XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch"
EndSection

The xorg.log also tells me nothing, and from the list of updated
packages I can only suspect that it is xinit that does something to the
keyboard layout.

Please reassign if this is the wrong place, thanks.
