Hi,

I couldn't find a way to preseed keyboard configuration to use layout=de
and variant=nodeadkeys.
I tried a wide variation of settings, tried to understand
keyboard-configuration.config ... to no success. As I couldn't find a
current manual for the installer online I had a look at the SVN version,
but the B.4.1. Localization appendix (English ,i386) does not seem the
be updated, yet.

These are the results of several preseed tests:
(preseeding keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap is needed to get rid of
the question as it seems)
Variables as found in /etc/default/keymap in the installer, but I
haven't seen this differ from the values in the installed system.

d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap   select  foo
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""

d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap   select  de
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""

d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap   select  de
d-i keyboard-configuration/layoutcode   string  de
XKBLAYOUT="de"
XKBVARIANT=""

d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap   select  de
d-i keyboard-configuration/layoutcode   string  de
d-i keyboard-configuration/variantcode  string  nodeadkeys
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""

d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap   select  de
d-i keyboard-configuration/variantcode  string  nodeadkeys
XKBLAYOUT=""
XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys"


These settings were always active:
d-i debian-installer/language string en
d-i debian-installer/country string DE
d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US.UTF-8


In case there is something to try, I can quickly to a test in
virtualbox.


Andreas
