Title:
  ubiquity-dm (maybe-ubiquity/only-ubiquity) missing keyboard indicator,
  when booted into Esc, Russian locale by default from isolinux BIOS
  boot

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity source package in Focal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * In ubiquity-dm (aka "maybe-ubiquity" or "only-ubiquity" modes) the
  keyboard indicator is not shown. Thus users cannot change keyboard
  layouts to input fields in various languages.

  [Test Case]

   * Boot installer in Russian language, i.e. only-ubiquity --- debian-
  installer/language=ru keyboard-configuration/layoutcode?=ru

   * Observe that the installer boots into Russian language by default

   * Observe that in the top right corner there is a keyboard layout
  indicator drop down, and it contains "en" and "ru" layouts.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Starting additional service during minimal ubiquity-dm will
  increase slightly cpu/ram usage. However, it should still be well
  within the declared RAM requirements.

  [Other Info]
   
   * Original bug report

  
  I installed (overwriting an existing partition) from Ubuntu 19.10 "Eoan Ermine" - Beta amd64 (20191006) selecting "Language": "en_US" and keyboard italian. When i entered the computer name "corrado-p6-ee-1006" i see instead "corrado/p6/ee/1006" because the installer uses the US keyboard so i was forced to enter the computer name considering i have an US keyboard
