# Preseeding only locale sets language, country and locale.

d-i debian-installer/language string fr
d-i debian-installer/country string FR
I can set french keymap on Debian Jessie with:
# Preseeding only locale sets language, country and locale. installer/ locale string fr_FR.UTF-8
d-i debian-
# The values can also be preseeded individually for greater flexibility. installer/ language string fr installer/ country string FR
d-i debian-
d-i debian-
# Keyboard selection. configuration/ xkb-keymap select fr(latin9)
d-i keyboard-
Setting the variant to oss does not work:
# Keyboard selection. configuration/ xkb-keymap select fr(oss)
d-i keyboard-
Debugging the Debian Jessie keymap selection, I see that it's handled by /usr/share/ console- setup/keyboard- configuration. config.
I pause the installer and put a set -x on top of this script in Ubuntu and it's never called.
Hope it will help.
Regards.
