Bug Description
If user chooses Lithuanian keyboard layout during installation (Ubiquity) or dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-
XKBLAYOUT="lt,lt"
XKBVARIANT=",us"
This configuration is not intuitive, because people think, that sometimes Lithuanian keyboard works (when lt1 is selected in GNOME shell panel) and sometimes doesn't work (when lt2 is selected).
So, majority of Lithuanian users are force to removed second lt(us) layout and add English (US) altgr-intl layout.
So, correct /etc/default/
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="lt,us"
XKBVARIANT=
XKBOPTIONS=
BACKSPACE="guess"
I'm attaching a patch to debian/

When user chooses Lithuanian keyboard layout then XKB variables in /etc/default/ keyboard should set to: ",altgr- intl"
XKBLAYOUT="lt,us"
XKBVARIANT=
I'm attaching screenshot of English US (intl with altGR) keyboard layoyut, this layout is most usefull for Lithuanians, because it contains Euro (€) and other symbols, often used in Lithuania.
