IndexError: list index out of range

Hi,

autoinstall-generator crashed when trying to translate my cloudinit-files. I've boiled this down to the keyboard entry, which causes the crash (using the current snap)

The stripped down user-data file is just

#cloud-config

keyboard:
  layout: de
  variant: nodeadkeys

autoinstall-generator user-data3
Traceback (most recent call last):

I'm not sure, whether I even used it in the intended way.

https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall mentions the program, but not debian, and leads to https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/hpc/How-To-Make-Ubuntu-Autoinstall-ISO-with-Cloud-init-2213/ which seems to mix and confuse the

autoinstall-generator

and the

ubuntu-autoinstall-generator

which seem, after careful reading, to perform different tasks, but not beeing kept apart by the ubuntu documentation itself. Maybe rename it to a less ambiguous name?
