Bug Description
I tried to install xubuntu edgy beta on vmware while choosing the Turkish language. The installer skipped the keyboard choosing sequence ("press this, press that, is this your keyboard" dialogues) and just set it to Turkish q.
my keyboard was "us" (used as tr-alt on the desktop) qwerty. installer needs to go thru the keyboard dialogues regardless of language selected.

I think the right answer here is to preseed keymap defaults, but only set the seen flag for those questions if you actually explicitly selected a keymap in the boot loader. The problem at the moment is that the installer can't distinguish between a default selected by the boot loader and an explicit user choice.
