While I would like to get this fixed, I don't consider it RC. Please note that the "unsuitable for release" case for "serious" is "in the package maintainer's or release manager's opinion" - feel free to appeal to the release team. In particular, this is not a regression from any previous version of Debian, and there are so many other things to do in GRUB that actually stop people booting, which is clearly worse than having the wrong keyboard layout. We're far enough along that advanced users can at least set this up themselves, which is better than the previous situation. > As far as my tests and my online search goes, that is currently not > possible in Debian [1].

While Fedora installs the grub-kbdcomp tool (as grub2-kbdcomp), I don't see anything in their spec file that actually makes use of it; so unless there's some configuration in a separate package, they appear to be no further along than Debian. > Probably #686815 [3] needs to be resolved for that first. I don't see why; GRUB could reasonably offer keyboard layout configuration only if console-setup is installed. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@debian.org] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
