Ok, so I'm working on that at the moment. And let say we are going to
do things differently:
1. Language setting peer user via ~/.profile
2. Goodby busybox kmap, welcome kbd-base
3. Use setxkbmap for X and change keymap on the fly

Are sure we need the full kdb package since us-acentos is in kdb-base ?

Actually tazlocale does use localedef, it's clear you have to it
manually if tazlocale is not used. With the new way I want to use, we
will still use tazlocale for localedef and link documentation but
we will have different front-end: dialog for text system, GTK and
TazPanel for desktop.

That one should be created by tazx when we configure Xorg. My proposal
is now to use 'setxkbmap' for X and started via ~/.profile as well.
The only thing I must fix is making correspondanse between xkbmap and
console kbdmap, since they dont use same name, for example I use
$ setxkbmap ch fr
$ loadkeys fr_CH-latin1
Does setxkbmap work for you on the fly (you dont need to logout/login
to let change take effect)
Note that with my proposal changes we will not have text mode dialog
at boot but 2 GTK GUI boxes just before starting the Window Manager.
And by the uniformize the all system and start Xorg before for a faster
boot.
