Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Ubuntu MATE 20.04 LTS installer
2. Specify Russian language on the first page of installer
3. Wait installer to finish

Expected results:
* the keyboard layout switcher shows two layouts - *en* and *ru*, reacts on <Alt>+<Shift> hotkey

Actual results:
* the keyboard layout switcher is not shown, does not react on <Alt>+<Shift> hotkey

Note: the contents of keyboard configuration files is the following:

```
$ cat /etc/default/keyboard
# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us"
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""

BACKSPACE="guess"

```

so the Russian keyboard layout were not added.

Second time the installed system have `ru` and `us` layouts, but the <Alt>+<Shift> is not defined.

The contents of keyboard configuration files is the following:

```
$ cat /etc/default/keyboard
# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="us,ru"
XKBVARIANT=","
XKBOPTIONS="grp_led:scroll"

BACKSPACE="guess"

```
so keyboard layout switcher is not defined here.

There is something wrong with keyboard layout settings by installer.

Exists in beta. Language used does not really matter.

summary: - Ubiquity does not add Russian keyboard layout to the system, Switching
- to another layout" shortcut is not set
+ Ubiquity does not add second keyboard layout to the system, Switching to
+ another layout" shortcut is not set

For Xubuntu the results are worse - keyboard layout switcher applet after adding does not detect `ru` / Russian language which is defined in `/etc/default/keyboard`.

summary: - Ubiquity does not add second keyboard layout to the system, Switching to
- another layout" shortcut is not set
+ Ubiquity does not set "Switching to another layout" shortcut for
+ secondary language
