+kbd-chooser (1.23ubuntu18) dapper; urgency=low
+
+  * Explicitly reset kbd-chooser/method on the occasions when we need to do
+    so to avoid infinite loops, rather than forcibly resetting it nearly
+    every time; fixes preseeding (closes: Malone #31661).
+  * Fix segfault if localechooser hasn't been run yet.
