[Bug 1847307] Re: Install in english with italian keyboard - keyboard not set during install

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

I used BIOS boot, and preseed Esc at the burning-person screen, and
selected Russian option from the language selection.

This way, russian locale is appended to the kernel commandline and upon
live session boot, I expect Russian locale to be selected for
everything, and Russian/English keyboards available.

Booting into "only-ubiquity" mode, keyboard selection indicator is
missing and pressing "super+space" doesn't change keyboard layout
either.

If on the other hand I boot into full live session, I see that there is
keyboard selection indicator and I can change keyboard layouts with
"super+space".

It seems like "keyboard-indicator" is missing from the "maybe-ubiquity
/only-ubiquity" ubiquity-dm session.

Bug description:
  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
