[Bug 1390893] [NEW] Fresh installation of Ubuntu installs poor choice of keyboard for gd

Apologies if I sound a little frustrated but I've been going round in
circles since May last year trying to fix what seems to be a simple
issue.

When a user installs a fresh version of Ubuntu and selects Gaelic (gd)
as the locale, it installs IBM 166 as the default keyboard. This is
unused and unusable for Gaelic, I have no idea why this became default
in the first place. This is not about the order in which they're
displayed in the list of available keyboards, this is about the keyboard
the system installs and sets as default.

The l10n mailing list pointed me at freedesktop
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64478) where I got
redirected to Ubuntu. I filed a bug but was told it's not a bug issue
and to open a question. I opened a question
(https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/229177) which has
remained unresolved since May 2013.

Could someone *please* help me?
