I would agree with you - and I'm one of those that do need to tweak my
keyboard, and more than most (just try getting a fully working Swedish
layout on an American or Japanese keyboard).

However, as pointed out, in some cases people can't even complete the
install and log in without a way to tweak this setting.

Perhaps, in the language screen, add a checkbox at the bottom with "Use
default keyboard" checked by default. If you do want to tweak this,
uncheck it, and you will land in the keyboard screen next. Leave as-is,
and you'll skip it.
