To make sure that I'm not wandering, I made an own experiment, where I
put some code in postinst which prints the variables. (I uploaded it to
the same PPA.) Please see the result in the attached file.

So, considering that we must distinguish between upgrades and pure
configuration, only testing if $2 exists is not sufficient. I still
think that the code I proposed does the right thing. ;)

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.
