Sysinstall has asked for country information and then asked you to choose a keymap (using kbdmap) if you selected a non-default country as the first two questions (i.e. before you get the sysinstall menu) since 6.1. Would that be a good solution still? Some of the other points brought up later about wanting to switch between two different keymaps seem sensible too, though I don't initially see how that would be possible.
