Bug description:
  In Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, daily builds of
  March 25, the right default keymap isn't preselected when you select
  "Nederlands" (i.e. Dutch) as language for the installation.

  It's now "English, US" but should be:
  "English (US) - English (US, intl., with dead keys)".

  Or, in other words, it should be:
  XKBLAYOUT="us"
  XKBVARIANT="intl"

  (additional remark in order to prevent any misunderstandings: the
  original Dutch keyboard (nl) has completely disappeared long ago, so
  all keyboards sold in the Netherlands have US keyboards which need the
  "intl" xkbvariant with dead keys, in order to be able to type accents)

  This is a regression, at least compared with Ubuntu 16.04 and earlier
  (I don't know about 16.10, 17.04 and 17.10).
