I'm not quite sure about the history, but it strikes me that there may be some misconceptions floating around in the above discussion.

On my Ubuntu 16.10 I

* removed all keyboard layout related user settings,
* set XKBLAYOUT="se" in /etc/default/keyboard, and
* rebooted.

The resulting effective layout on lightdm-gtk-greeter was Swedish as expected.

Please note that the language chooser shown by default in lightdm-gtk-greeter is about setting the session's display language, and has nothing to do with keyboard layouts.

You can enable a keyboard layout switcher; please see <http://askubuntu.com/q/821017> including the comments.
