I somehow forgot about this bug! Ok, I think I know now what you're
aiming for. Normally just checking for the existence of $2 would be
sufficient but not if we're expecting the config changes to happen on
package reinstall. I guess it's just a matter of design here - I
obviously was thinking of more that reinstallation/reconfiguration
should follow the same rules as an upgrade, as first install was already
responsible for modification of the /etc/default/keyboard file. But
there's also the approach of reinstall causing a complete 'fresh
install' of the config, which indeed might sound a bit better.
Let's get this sponsored!

Title:
Alternative shortcut for layout switching Alt+Shift unexpectedly set
by default
Status in console-setup package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Version: Ubuntu 18.04 Final Beta with default Gnome Shell included in
18.04
Steps to reproduce:
1. Define two keyboard input methods in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources
2. Open several applications
3. Observe that application windows can be iterated with Alt + Tab
4. Once application window iteration was begun with Alt + Tab, try to iterate backwards with Alt + Shift + Tab.
5. Try to change keyboard input method switching hotkeys in Settings -> Region & Language -> Input Sources -> Options.
6. Observe that Keyboard shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is set to "Alt + Shift" and that keyboard shortcuts can only be changed in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
7. Observe that the shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" is not available for configuration in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
Actual state:
* Performing step 4 does not select the previous app in application switcher but instead changes keyboard input method.
Expected state:
* The shortcut for "Alternative switch to next source" can be changed and / or deactivated in Settings -> Devices -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
Notes:
* The above was working fine in Ubuntu 17.10. I assume "Alternative switch to next source" did not exist in that version of Gnome Shell.
