  US keyboard layout even if a non english language is selected in

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Last known good version: 20.04
  This regression appeared in 20.04.1 and 20.10. We have fixed it for groovy on release week and it's time to backport the fix for 20.04.2. Without the fix users using the installer live session won't have correct keyboard layout, per the default for a given language.

  [Test Case]

  1. Boot to ubiquity-dm
  2. In the list of languages select 'French'
  3. Boot to the live session

  = Expected result =
   * Verify that there is a keyboard indicator in the indicator area and that 'fr' is displayed
   * Open a terminal, press the 'a' key and verify that 'a' is displayed in the terminal.

  = Actual result =
  There is no keyboard indicator.
  The keyboard layout is 'US' instead of FR.

  [Where problems could occur]

  It's hard to say. Since this SRU is modifying gsettings keys, I think
  any regressions might most likely be happening in relation of that.
  But sadly I can't think of any obvious scenario that could be broken.
