Bug Description

We need to update keymap handling so that (a) the keymaps come from console-setup and (b) we preseed console-setup properly. I'm part-way through (a) and have laid down the infrastructure for (b). This is a reminder that this needs to be done by beta.

casper needs to be able to deal with console-setup preseeding, otherwise the keymap selector on the live CD boot menu won't work. This is dependent on deciding exactly what gfxboot-theme-ubuntu is going to pass; I'm fairly sure that it will be console-setup/layoutcode, but it's possible that console-setup/variantcode may be needed as well.

kickseed needs to be taught to preseed console-setup. (We might want some compatibility with old keymap names, or we might just want to note in the documentation that you now need to use X layout names.)

  * Preseed better country defaults, grabbed from localechooser 1.20ubuntu6
    (closes: Malone #30960).
  * Convert keymap handling and preseeding to console-setup; keyboard names
    grabbed from console-setup 1.7ubuntu11 (closes: Malone #61573).

  * test-kickseed: Explicitly source kickseed.sh from current directory.
  * Update keyboard handling for console-setup; note that keymap names have
    changed from Dapper and earlier, and that layout_variant (e.g. in_guj)
    keymap names may be used (closes: Malone #61573).
