Dear Maintainer,

After a recent apt-get upgrade, dist-upgrade and reboot I noticed my
keyboard settings were reverted to their defaults.

I keep these settings in /etc/default/keyboard, and since I have
/etc under git (via etckeeper), I can show the change autocommited by
the upgrade:

# cd /etc && git diff a7d7c52 dd9bba3 -- default/keyboard
diff --git a/default/keyboard b/default/keyboard

dd9bba3 committing changes in /etc made by "apt-get upgrade"

The upgrade did not prompt me about changes to this file under /etc,
its content was silently changed.

Please note that the whole file was not replaced (for example a comment of
mine was retained), rather it was edited.

I was trying to find which package the /etc/default/keyboard conffile
belongs to (my best guess being console-setup), however I found that on
my system no package claims this conffile - I believe this may be part
of the root cause:

# egrep -H /etc/default/keyboard /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.conffiles
[no output]

However the man pages keyboard(5) and setupcon(1) make me believe this
conffile actually belongs to console-setup.

Now I manually restored my previous keyboard settings,
however I believe the change to this config file should not have been silent.

Please let me know if I should collect other information about my system.

Thanks in advance,
Bence Romsics
