Bug Description

Binary package hint: console-setup

I've been tracking feisty for the last while.

I had confiigured my keyboard to be dvorak, which was stored in /etc/defaults/console-setup. Some later upgrade reset this file back to saying 'us', which caused some frustration when trying to type enccryption keys or root passwords.

The time on the file (20070320 15:06) corresponds precisely to the installation of 1.13ubuntu9 which gives me some confirmation that it was actually the upgrade that broke it.
