[Bug 1308908] [NEW] keyboard layout detection chooses "variant" instead of "macbook" on a Macbook 6.1

[Ghislain Vaillant]

Public bug reported:

Whilst covering the following test case
(http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1301/info), I encountered
a bug regarding the automatic keyboard layout selection. I am using a
Macbook 6.1 with a French keyboard and tried to install the Ubuntu
Trusty Final ISO proposed in the test case.

The automatic keyboard layout selector wrongly concludes that I am using
a French "variant" layout instead of the French "macbook" one. This has
no impact on the letter characters, but special characters such as '-'
or '/' are positionned differently.

I would expect the installer to guess the right keyboard layout straight
away.
