Bug Description
If the locale selected during oem-config is different from that selected during initial installation (for example, if the initial installation has language English and location New York, but oem-config is given language English and location London), then the default keymap is not properly recalculated; it will default to the one selected during initial installation rather than the one appropriate for the selections during oem-config.
Fixing this means that oem-config's keymap is not preseedable, reverting the fix for bug 188492; however, preseeding oem-config is very poorly supported anyway, so this is not too big a loss in the context of the whole. For most users it will probably be better to pick a reasonable default keymap for their locale.
This is fixed in oem-config 1.38 in intrepid. Changelog:
* Don't fail to set the locale if the mirror/country question doesn't
exist.
* Disable support for console-setup preseeding again, as it interferes
with the more important goal of inferring a default keyboard from the
selected locale (LP: #219209).

Apparently still broken with oem-config 1.37, very likely the release version. (Drat.)
