Dutch keyboard layout doesn't work in Breezy

Bug Description

During a fresh install of Breezy, I installed a Dutch layout for my Dutch
keyboard which worked fine during the install. As soon as the install was
finished, the keyboard layout was changed to US. In Gnome, I changed this back
to Netherlands. This didn't make any sense. The layout is still US, while
System=>Preferences=>Keyboard=>Tab Layout shows my installed Dutch layout
(marked as default and the only keyboard in the list, I removed the US settings)
while this doesn't work.

Strange thing is that I had it working correctly when I upgraded my Hoary to
Breezy, using apt-get dist-upgrade. The problem only excists when installing a
fresh copy of Breezy.

My work around right now is to install Hoary, followed by configuring the right
keyboard layout in Gnome. Then I upgrade my sources.list to Breezy and start an
upgrade to Breezy, using apt-get. This works fine, but I'm sure this shouldn't
be the way to install Breezy.

I would like to hear from you and if you want me to test anything, please let me
know.

Cheers,

Dylan

I think this fixes your problem. It should at least arrange for the X keymap to be set up correctly after installation.

xorg (7.0.0-0ubuntu42) dapper; urgency=low

  * Map et console keymap to ee.
  (Closes Ubuntu: #42800)

  * Handle fi-latin1 console keymap the same way as fi.
  (Closes Ubuntu: #42650)

  * Map nl console keymap to nl.
  (Closes Ubuntu: #26552)

  * Map gr console keymap to gr, and add it to the list of non-Latin
    keymaps.

  * Map mk, ro, and ru console keymaps to mk, ro, and ru respectively.

  * Change sr-cy console keymap to map to cs, not sr, following
    xkeyboard-config changes. Add this to the list of non-Latin keymaps.

xorg (1:7.2-3ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low

  * Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
    - debian/control, debian/scripts/vars.sparc, debian/rules:
      + Makes xorg Architecture: any and use an extra variable
        to not Depends on type-handling.
    - debian/control:
      + Keep meta-packages for xbase-clients, xutils.
      + Change the Maintainer-field.
      + Add replaces for xinit since we now ship Xsession from x11-common.
        Ditto for xrgb as we ship rgb.txt in x11-common.
      + xserver-xorg: Add dependancy "OR xserver-xorg-video" because
        the restricted drivers provide that.
    - debian/local/Xsession:
      + If ~/.xsession-errors is bigger than 0.5MiB, truncate it to the last
        0.5MiB to avoid having it grow indefinitively. (This does not happen
        with gdm anyway since gdm cleans the file on login). (LP #60448)
    - debian/local/dexconf:
      + Uncoditionally re-enable ZAxisMapping in dexconf. (LP: #31827)
      + Add InputDevice entries for wacom.
      + Add extra bits for ps3fb xorg.conf.
      + Read xserver-xorg/config/device/extra_options key, parse it
        (first token is option name, rest of the line after first space
        is value), and add it as Option lines to the device section.
        (LP: #90109)
      + Add special case for i810 with 3M TouchScreen monitors to set a
        resolution of 800x600 and avoid probing since it will fail miserably
        in xserver-xorg.postinst. Also make sure to write Option "DisplayInfo"
        "False" in Device Section in dexconf if the above combination is
        matched otherwise the card will display extra unrequired info each
        time X attempts a startup. (touches also xserver-xorg.postinst.in)
      + Due to a very annoying DRI/DRM bug, make sure to use OldDmaInit
        when writing down the Device section for mga driver. This will make
        DRI working at least for AGP cards. PCI didn't work before and it will
        keep not working since the option does explicitly disable DRI for PCI.
        (LP: #27442)
      + Enable elographics driver when matching known machines.
      + Disable composite when using the fglrx driver. It does not support
        composition, and enabling it by default (as recently done in
        xorg-server) breaks DRI for fglrx. (LP: #90688)
    - debian/scripts/vars.i386:
      + Add xserver-xorg-input-elographics to XSERVER_XORG_INPUT_DEPENDS.
    - debian/xserver-xorg.postinst.in:
      + Add lt to list of non-Latin keymaps (LP: #38931).
      + Make sure to ask video driver on sparc even if autodetected. Some
        cards still require weird overrides (ati -> fbdev) that are not
        100% known in all combinations.
      + Skip video card autodetection if xforcevesa is set
        (LP #27020, #59618).
      + Detect keyboard layout configuration using /etc/default/console-setup
        if available.
      + Clean up duplicate keymaps in xserver-xorg.config.in and make sure
        they're all neatly alphabetised.
      + Map cf console keymap to ca(fr).
      + Map croat console keymap to hr. (LP: #43598)
      + Set default keyboard variant for French to oss (LP: #89835).
      + Map...
