Bug Description

I select English language, but Swedish keyboard during install. Once the system
is installed, however, I have an English keyboard when I log in. Ideally, the
choice of keyboard should be propagated to the installed system as well as used
during the installation process.

Do you mean at the console, or in X? If one, can you please check the other?

Discounting bugs, the keymap is propagated to the console post-install. Anything
else is X's problem. :-)

yep, console is correct, while X is not. Not a bug in other words. I'll mark it
as NOTABUG.

Might want to have this in mind for a later release, though; even if it's not
meant to, as a user I became slightly bemused that I had already set it up once
and had the feeling it should have been right in X as well.

This is a bug, just in X rather than the installer. Reopening and reassigning.
