Bug#528033: console-setup: config file does not contain bepo variant selected in debconf

2009-05-10 Thread Raphaël Hertzog 
Package: console-setup
Version: 1.34
Severity: important

I do use the french layout with the bepo variant. I used to have:
XKBMODEL=pc105
XKBLAYOUT=fr
XKBVARIANT=bepo

After upgrade I lost those settings (see #527641, already reported)
and discovered that this file is overwritten by the debconf configuration.
So I decided to update the debconf configuration with dpkg-reconfigure
console-setup and selected the variant that I wanted (France - Bepo
ergonomic Dvorak way) but it turns out that this selection ends up
with:
XKBLAYOUT=fr
XKBVARIANT=

Which is clearly not what I expected.

From the short test I made it seems keyboards whose long description 
contains commas are rejected because Deconf protocol uses commas as 
separators.  I can fix this by replacing commas by semicolons, but I'd 
like to ask first people on debian-boot: is there some prefix I can use 
in order to keep commas there?  The solution would need to work both 
with debconf and cdebconf.

Comma's in choices can be escaped (\,).
