Bug Description
Binary package hint: console-setup
When upgrading from intrepid to jaunty, console-setup interrupted the upgrade three times to show the same debconf message:
The configuration file /etc/default/
layout and variant that are not supported by the configuration
program. Because of that, no questions about the keyboard layout will
be asked and your current configuration will be preserved.
This is probably because of a non-standard XKBOPTIONS value - but the message shouldn't need to be shown more than once. The db_input should only be called from the postinst script rather than config, to avoid it being unnecessarily displayed multiple times.

I don't think moving it to the postinst will work very well (and will break preconfiguration). This was probably caused by console- setup/dont_ ask_layout being changed to be an error template a while back, actually for hardy, which causes its seen status to be ignored.
