Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
In the installer, when you pick Finnish for your keyboard layout, you are presented with a list of alternatives:
Finland
Finland - Eliminate dead keys
Finland - Kotoistus
Finland - Macintosh
Finland - Northern Saami
All of these except "Kotoistus" are likely understandable to a majority of the target audience. However, the "Kotoistus" layout was unfamiliar to me. It turns out that this is a project to replace the traditional (originally Swedish SIS) standard keyboard layout with a modernized, multilingual layout -- essentially backwards-
Judging from their web pages at http://
The PDF suggests "Nordic International" as a good name for the proposed layout; perhaps this could be added to the keyboard picker list (i.e. change "Finland - Kotoistus" to "Finland - Kotoistus (Nordic International)".
Sorry if ubiquity is the wrong place for this bug.
