[Feature]Wrong default value for Brazil Keyboard layout on ThinkPad

[Bin Li]

On ThinkPad, when I select 'Portuguese(Brazil)', it will use 'Portuguese(Brazil)' on second column, but the default value should be 'Portuguese(Brazil)-Portuguese(Brazil, IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad)'.

This is a general issue on 20.04 and 22.04.

Thank you for the report, I'm unsure ubiquity has logic to be able to pick the layout depending of the device specific, the default are currently by country

@Peter: could you please provide more information?
This feature request isn't trivial to implement; for instance, a user could use a Thinkpad but have an external keyboard plugged in. We need more information in order for us to design a solution.

I checked the source code, it should be from console-setup which is installed by ubiquity, it will load the Keyboard/ckb/rules/base.xml, currently it will select the first one after choosing country or timezone. Maybe we could set 'thinkpad' if we could detect the type of laptop.
