  to another layout" shortcut is not set

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Start Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS installer
  2. Specify Russian language on the first page of installer
  3. Wait installer to finish

  Expected results:
  * the keyboard layout switcher shows two layouts - *en* and *ru*, reacts on <Alt>+<Shift> hotkey

  Actual results:
  * the keyboard layout switcher is not shown, does not react on <Alt>+<Shift> hotkey

  Note: the contents of keyboard configuration files is the following:

  ```
  $ cat /etc/default/keyboard 
  # KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

  # Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

  XKBMODEL="pc105"
