[Bug 1863001] [NEW] [PATCH] Incorrect LAYOUT is set when choosing Lithuanian in dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration and Ubiquity

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Mantas Kriaučiūnas (mantas):

If user chooses Lithuanian keyboard layout during installation
(Ubiquity) or dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration then incorrect
layout is set in /etc/default/keyboard :

XKBLAYOUT="lt,lt"
XKBVARIANT=",us"

This configuration is not intuitive, because people think, that
sometimes Lithuanian keyboard works (when lt1 is selected in GNOME shell
panel) and sometimes doesn't work (when lt2 is selected).

So, majority of Lithuanian users are force to removed second lt(us)
layout and add English (US) altgr-intl layout.

So, correct /etc/default/keyboard should be:

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="lt,us"
XKBVARIANT=",altgr-intl"
XKBOPTIONS="grp_led:scroll"
BACKSPACE="guess"

I'm attaching a patch to debian/keyboard-configuration.config file which
fixes this issue
