Title:
  Keyboard screen is confusing to non-techies

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: oem-config

  The keyboard screen is confusing.  I've never had a problem (since I'm
  US English, so easy!), but I've had reports that others have.

  Trying to make it easier, could we restrict the set of proposed
  keyboards a union of keyboard layouts that match the country and
  language the user chose?  (in GNOME, the keyboard chooser lets you
  sort by country or language, so that info must be somewhere)

  Or, could we just do it automatically and let the user change
  afterward?  Probably not, but it would be nice.

  Terms used also might be confusing.  I'm assuming most non-technical
  users don't know if they have 104 or 105 keys or if they have dead
  keys (makes me think of dead pixels, broken keys).
