Package: www.debian.org
Severity: minor

To install french keyboard support in Debian-live(having to do this is a first problem, the boot menu choice having only partial effect), I searched out how with "man loadkeys". I understood that keymaps where missing so I've searched "keymaps" on the packages Website(https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=keymaps). I get a list with 8 console-keymaps-* packages. But non of them can be installed via apt! I finally found the right virtual package with "aptitude search" but this inconstancy is abnormal, the online package search should be the mirror of the cli one
