[Bug 749671] Re: "Detect keyboard layout" is invisible to orca

[Alan Bell]

If the install is done while connected to the internet it will attempt
to figure out where you are and what keyboard you are using, and it gets
it right for me (en_GB) if you don't let it connect to the internet you
get the US keyboard with no £ and @ and " the wrong way round. We can
update the a11y documentation to strongly recommend installing with a
network connection as a workaround for this.

Title:
  "Detect keyboard layout" is invisible to orca

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubiquity” source package in Oneiric:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  orca does not read out the key symbol options to press so this option
  is useless to screen reader users. The keyboard layout can be selected
  using the regular options so I would suggest removing the detect
  keyboard function when doing the screen reader assisted install.
