German keyboard layout

[descipar]

Hi!

We had a similar problem with locales and console-data / console-common and
the problem seems to be that if locales are installed via apt-get or
aptitude
the default locale is set to none and all debconf settings are overwritten.
Also /etc/default/locale is empty afterwards (Quite a strange imho)

Our solution was to add the script 60-reconfigure in scripts to LAST:

----
if ifclass 'GERMAN'
then
    echo "locales locales/default_environment_locale select de_DE.UTF-8" |
\
        $ROOTCMD debconf-set-selection -v
    $ROOTCMD update-locale LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
fi

$ROOTCMD dpkg-reconfigure -f noninteractive locales

Regards,
----
Kai
