But the fact is that they are not, as per the above "setxkbmap -query" command. Celejar

The following directories are part of the API of several d-i components: - /usr/lib/post-base-installer.d/ - /usr/lib/pre-pkgsel.d/ The same is e.g. true for /usr/lib/apt/ (okay, maybe this was extended to include /usr/libexec/apt/ as well in the meantime). It is however irrelevant if this API is provided by a deb or udeb. You, as user of this API, can't just move a file from /usr/lib/x to /usr/libexec/x and expect it to continue working. This is an API transition and needs to be coordinated. I would assume this tag is in the pedantic pile for a reason: You can't just run, but need to think about it.

The tag is completely correct. The _other_ d-i parts are only looking in the specified directories in /usr/lib. Bastian -- But Captain -- the engines can't take this much longer!
