Cannot choose Croatian keyboard, nor return to English afterwards

[Ivan Krstić]

From e-mail to ubuntu-devel. Tested on colony-3.

Picking the Croatian language in d-i was a dead end, since it couldn't recognize
the standard Croatian keyboard layout from hitting the appropriate keys, and
when trying to access the full keyboard layout list, it would throw an error.
More annoyingly, going back to the language selection and selecting English did
not resolve the keyboard situation - I was not offered any English keyboard
layouts. I suspect the installer still kept track of my choice of Croatian,
because trying to *again* go back to the language selection screen, Croatian was
selected, even though I picked English last time. I had to reboot to reenter
the installer and select English right away.

Steps to replicate:
1. From the initial 'select language screen', pick Croatian.
2. On the resulting 'Your keyboard is' screen, hit 'Go Back'.
3. Now pick English in the language screen.

You wind up at the 'Your keyboard is' screen, but it says 'No keyboard to
configure', you can't select it by saying 'Select from full keyboard list', and
you can't find the layout by pressing keys.

This should fix it, although I haven't tested the keymap guesser with this:

kbd-chooser (1.18ubuntu3) breezy; urgency=low

  * Backport from trunk:
    - If a keymap list entry has the same keymap name as a previous one but
      a different language list, create a new keymap for it. This is
      required to select the correct default for Croatian (closes: Ubuntu
      #14711).
