Title:
  The keyboard is still installed as US-English even if another language
  is selected during the installation

Status in casper package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  - Particularly serious in UEFI mode (when grub is the only boot
  loader).

  - Affects at least Lubuntu and Xubuntu

  - Affects not only Swedish, at least also French, probably all languages except US-English.
  -----

  Workaround:

  If I install Swedish language in the live session *before* starting the installer, it works to get Swedish keyboard in the installed system.
  -----

  This bug is reported from a system installed from Lubuntu Xenial
  alternate i386, but the corresponding desktop version is also
  affected. It is a rather new bug, that seems to have appeared at about
  the same time as the big problems with starting Ubiquity.

  Selecting another language in the installer looks the same in the
  alternate installer. But it looks different in the desktop installer.
  The locale is not pre-selected, you click on the world map, and you
  are asked if the selected keyboard is correct. The following window
  with alternative keyboards is empty. But that would be OK, if the
  installer would do, what it promises.

  After installation a lot of text is in the selected language, Swedish
  in my  case, for example the pulldown menus in lxterminal. But when I
  type, the US English keyboard is still there. I have to run

  setxkbmap se

  to get Swedish keyboard.
