It's a known bug that we ask about keyboard layout, after setting up
encryption password.

Do you not recall seeing this keyboard layout selection screen?

Title:
  NO Keyboard selection when on english

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 13.04 daily April 7

  When starting a new ubuntu installation and set the language to English, there will be no questions about keyboard layout.
  i think to have to go to an icon above to change the keyboard layout is not intuitive and should be part of the selection process instead. You could always accept the default values.

  I particularly use English as the language but I'm on a computer that has a Swedish keyboard most of the time. Some times I do have to use Brazilian keyboards...
  It may seems a corner case but there are several people that uses English as the default language and a NOT English keyboard!

  Make it intuitive, stop to complicate things! Stop to assume!
