Indeed, this is postinst so the value is "configure" for all successful
upgrades. What could be done is actually only checking if $2 exists or
not, since if I remember correctly we only have postinst configure
called with a version number in the case of upgrades or downgrades -
which I suppose don't matter as in case of downgrading to an older
version that we expect modify /etc/default/keyboard then anyway the
destination version's postinst is executed. And I suppose the same thing
happens for packages that are in the config-installed state, but that
shouldn't be a problem for us (since it means postinst ran at least once
anyway).
Probably needs checking.
Could you check if only doing a test for the existence of $2 would
suffice? This could probably be added to the existing conditional and
make the maintscript look better.

Title:
Alternative shortcut for layout switching Alt+Shift unexpectedly set
by default
Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Version: Ubuntu 18.04 Final Beta with default Gnome Shell included in
18.04
Steps to reproduce:
1. Define two keyboard input methods in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources
2. Open several applications
3. Observe that application windows can be iterated with Alt + Tab
4. Once application window iteration was begun with Alt + Tab, try to iterate backwards with Alt + Shift + Tab.
5. Try to change keyboard input method switching hotkeys in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources -> Options.
6. Observe that Keyboard shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is set to "Alt + Shift" and that keyboard shortcuts can only be changed in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
7. Observe that the shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is not available for configuration in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
Actual state:
* Performing step 4 does not select the previous app in application switcher but instead changes keyboard input method.
Expected state:
* The shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" can be changed and / or deactivated in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
Notes:
* The above was working fine in Ubuntu 17.10. I assume "Alternative switch to next source" did not exist in that version of Gnome Shell.
