IMHO:
I see some problems with this. I personally use a laptop a lot and it is a short version no number pad, but if i press the number lock in the middle of my keyboard becomes active as a number pad.

Yes you can install (numlockx) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NumLock or on bios.
This is more of an opinion than a request or a bug.
I would not like this course of action.

Also it on brainstrom:

If you really wanted it done, then in install make it option to set when picking keyboard.
Then have the script add the nublockx package and script to /etc/gdm/Init/Default
If can be enabled, plus it can also be disabled under keyboard preference.
System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layout -> Layout Options -> Miscellaneous compatibility options -> turn on "Default numeric keypad keys"
