Comments/Problems:

During base system install console-data pops up a dialog with a technical dialogue about keymaps. This is supposed to be handled by the initial language and keymap question in the installer, so I suspect a new option or other preseeding problem.

In any event the keymap question during base install is annoying since it means the install cannot complete until it is answered and it is somewhat confusing to determine what option should be selected as the default (don't touch keymap, use /xxx/console) is different than the recommended option
(show arch keymaps).

The reason for the error for the overall install is submitted as a separate bug report since it is completely unrelated.
