Bug Description
Binary package hint: console-setup
On upgrade from maverick to natty, my keyboard config was changed from US Dvorak international w/o deadkeys to US Dvorak international w/ deadkeys. Changing the "default" dvorak international keyboard config to use deadkeys is ok, but then my previous keyboard setting should be respected on upgrade. Switching deadkeys on/off on upgrade would be very painful for a user who doesn't already know what deadkeys are.

How thoroughly unhelpful of xkeyboard-config!

I'm not sure how best to deal with this, as xkeyboard-config made the change but keyboard- configuration is responsible for configuration, so there's no particularly good version to look at on upgrade (and in any case maverick had console-setup but not keyboard- configuration, further complicating matters). Do you have any suggestions?
