The Ubuntu 13.10 release have demonstarted that modern gnome-control-center keyboard have very few settings for keyboard layout related options.
For exmaple, Keyboard Layout Options window is missed in gnome-control-center keyboard (see bug 1245064). The last Ubuntu version which had this window is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. This window was very useful. It had many options:
It allows to set the following:
> Adding currency signs to certain keys
> Adding Esperanto circumflexes (supersigno)
> Alt/Win key behavior
> Caps Lock key behavior
> Compose key position
> Ctrl key position
> Japanese keyboard options
> Key sequence to kill the X server
> Key(s) to change layout
> Key to choose 3rd level
> Key to choose 5th level
> Miscellaneous compatibility options
> Numeric keypad delete key behavior
> Numeric keypad layout selection
> Use keyboard LED to show alternative layout
> Using space key to input non-breakable space character
Now (in Ubuntu 13.10 and 14.04) these options are missed from gnome-control-center.
GNOME developers say that they moved these options to gnome-tweak-tool.
In next 3 months Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will be released and some users of previous LTS (12.04) may want to update to it. And they will not have many keyboard layout options.
So I recommend to include gnome-tweak-tool to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installation by default. This inclusion may be done by suggestion to install gnome-tweak-tool or by making it as a dependency of gnome-control-center.

Dear Ubuntu developers.

> Use keyboard LED to show alternative layout
> Using space key to input non-breakable space character
Now (in Ubuntu 13.10 and 14.04) these options are missed from gnome-control-center.
GNOME developers say that they moved these options to gnome-tweak-tool. Under Typing section gnome-tweak-tool has options:
> Show all installed input sources
> Key to choose 5th level
> Miscellaneous compatibility options
> Maintain key compatibility with old Solaris keycodes
> Layout of numeric keypad
> Swithing to another layout
> Ctrl key position
> Key sequence to kill the X server
> Numeric keypad delete key behaviour
> Adding currency signs to certain keys
> Caps Lock key behaviour
> Use keyboard LED to show alternative layout
> Japanese keyboard options
> Adding Esperanto supersigned letters
> Alt/Win key behaviour
In next 3 months Ubuntu 14.04 LTS will be released and some users of previous LTS (12.04) may want to update to it. And they will not have many keyboard layout options.
So I recommend to include gnome-tweak-tool to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installation by default. This inclusion may be done by suggestion to install gnome-tweak-tool or by making it as a dependency of gnome-control-center (or something other).
