I'm sorry; I didn't explain very well, so I think you got it backwards.

Almost all Norwegian users use a qwerty layout, and would hence expect
a simple "no" to load a qwerty layout. Instead, it yields a dvorak
layout. It's just a weird default. Renaming the dvorak/no.map to
dvorak/dvorak-no.map achieves two things:

  1. The default "no" map becomes qwerty.

  2. The Norwegian dvorak map has a name that is consistent with all
the other dvorak/*.map files. Right now, the Norwegian map is the only
one without a "dvorak-" prefix.
