Wrong keyboard layout for password at login

[Walter St]

After upgrading from 16.04 to 17.10 the keyboard layout is incorrect. On my computer it uses the German layout (z <-> y keys are exchanged, QWERTZ instead of QWERTY). After login the correct locale is used. My physical location is in Austria

/etc/defaults/locale:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_TIME=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_NAME=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_GB.UTF-8

I've seen this bug reported several times but for some reason can't find the previous ones right now.

I think it's probably related to bug 1652618 though.

What's the content of /etc/default/keyboard?
