Modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the XkbLayout directive as follows;

Option          "XkbLayout"     "dvorak"

> If I install from scratch, I can choose the keyboard during the install -

Or the "debian/ubuntu way" to configure software after installation;

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

PS: your fingers will thank-you for using dvorak :-)
