Hello folks,

I'm (one of) the maintainer(s) of console-data in Debian. I've been
directed to this list.

We currently have requests to support the Canadian Multilingual keymap
in Debian Installer which turns out to get such keymap in
console-data. Of course, the Ubuntu installer being based on D-I,
Ubuntu users are also concerned by this.

I developed a console keymap to support that keyboard but I need help
to confirm that it is actually correct.

The keymap and all informations are available in the Debian bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/464799

To properly deal with #464799 which requests support for Canadian
Multilingual keymap
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Canadian_Multilingual_Standard)
in the installer (and therefore in console-data), I need someone with
the knowledge of such keyboard/keymap to test the console keymap I
cooked in that bug report.

Support this keymap seems important for good support of users in
Canada...something which I'm not in position to decide upon (I just
give trust the bug submitter's comment).

Please CC the BTS to comments if they're related to the bug's solution
or followup in -devel for general comments.
