I suppose tasksel installed console-cyrillic together with the other Bulgarian-related packages.

Where did you chose "Bulgarian Phonetic"? In console-setup's debconf question of in console-cyrillic? (I suppose both should have asked.)

Since there are two completely different keyboard layouts for Bulgarian and both are popular (unlike qwerty and dvorak), I made the following exception for Bulgarian - the question for the keyboard variant is asked with higher priority. It is normal that Bulgarian BDS is selected since d-i has no way to pass this information (Bulgarian BDS is not supported in kbd-chooser, nor in console-data).

The question about the Bulgarian keyboard variant is asked with high priority. Maybe I should change it to critical priority?
