Not bein' snarky here: where else would you expect it to be? I've=20 never seen the DSK categorised as anything but =E2=80=98US (Dvorak)=E2=80= =99. The=20 layout itself is pretty anglocentric, and even (I mean: of course)=20 the UK Dvorak subtly differs from the US one. I assume this isn't the first time you've installed a GNU/Linux=20 distribution, so I'm curious where you found it on others. Do=20 they flat-out alias =E2=80=98Dvorak=E2=80=99 to the US variant? Not convin= ced we=20 should emulate that. Side note: the Debian (or was it Ubuntu?) installer has a great=20 feature to help you figure out your keyboard layout in the minimum=20 number of keystrokes. I wonder if we could use that decision tree=20 data in our own installer. IME most people have no idea what the=20 name of their keyboard layout is; it's always =E2=80=98er, the regular=20 one?=E2=80=99 to them.
