Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
Doing 10.04.1 ISO testing and I've noticed a discrepancy in Keyboard mapping defaults chosen by the two installers.
Since I'm homed in the US, I've never seen this before, however, this time around I happen to be sprinting in the UK and it's cropped up.
So doing an install using ubiquity, the keyboard part of the configuration chooses a UK keyboard layout by default. However, d-i installs from the Alternate ISOs choose USA/USA by default.
So there's a discrepancy in internationaliz

The intrinsic defaults are the same, but ubiquity uses GeoIP data to figure out your current location automatically and sets that as your country. If you choose the UK as your country in d-i, you'll see the same effects on the keyboard configuration module.
I don't expect this to change in d-i, I'm afraid - the network isn't configured at that stage and arranging for that to happen would involve very substantial changes which I don't think are worthwhile.
