Title:
  keyboard detection fails to properly apply keyboard variant

Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Using keyboard detection to pick a dvorak variant of 'us'; the
  appropriate layout appears to be selected (but it *is* the default),
  except the variant (dvorak itself) isn't being properly applied.

  Using the menus to pick us:dvorak from a list, the keyboard variant is
  properly applied once setupcon gets run.

  It appears as though setting XKB_VARIANT after keyboard detection code
  runs is either skipped or mangled; but otherwise works fine when
  picked manually.
