Bug Description
Binary package hint: debian-installer
I went through the alternate installer for Karmac, daily iso build of 14 July, 2009. I used alternate because I needed encrypted root. I go through the installer, and everything is hunky dory. On reboot, I'm prompted for my encryption passphrase. It was rejected a few times before I thought "I probably typed it wrong. Let me reinstall." After the re-install, I had the same issue, until I thought I should try typing my passphrase as if my keyboard were qwerty layout (it was set up and used in the installer as US Dvorak). That worked. My user account also had to have Dvorak selected, as it was set up with US qwerty as well.
Console setup seems to think it's doing Dvorak properly, but my ttys and my encryption prompt are still Qwerty when the installer should have set them to Dvorak.

Could you please attach /etc/default/
I bet it actually has remembered the layout, but console-setup is failing to set it up properly at boot time. If so, this is bug 392218.
