intrepid alpha-4: keyboard layout test ignores AltGr

Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I booted intrepid alpha-4 from an intrepid-desktop-amd64.iso CDROM and started the installation process.

When asked for the keyboard layout, I selected "Germany". Despite of the sub-selections (Dead acute etc.), the AltGr key status is ignored - so the test field cannot display a "~" (AltGr-+ on german keyboards), "@" (AltGr-q) etc.

This might be confusing to new users.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.9.14

---------------
ubiquity (1.9.14) intrepid; urgency=low

  * GTK frontend:
    - Give focus to the language treeview on startup (LP: #254635).
    - Pressing Enter in the keyboard test box activates the Forward button
      (LP: #225548).
  * Improve handling of default keymap options used when setting the X
    keymap on the fly. In particular, set the lv3:ralt_switch option for
    non-US layouts so that AltGr can be tested (LP: #258153).
  * Clear out previous XKB options when setting a new X keymap.
  * Fix mysterious crash if a debconffilter doesn't get started for some
    reason (LP: #125538).
  * Add /var/log/casper.log to apport-generated bugs.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: base-installer
    1.86ubuntu6, clock-setup 0.96ubuntu2, grub-installer 1.32ubuntu4,
    localechooser 2.03ubuntu3.
