I believe it relied on console-setup for the correct default.
So, console-setup shouldn't stop providing a default until AFTER ubiquity had a question about "how to toggle the layout".

I just tested on Ubuntu GNOME and I can't switch the layout with Alt+Shift. I can switch it with Win+Space, which isn't appropriate for Greece. Also, I can't type Greek in neither the console nor in GDM.

Gunnar, what are you proposing?

I believe that LP: #1762952 should be reverted, and if GNOME chokes while reading /etc/default/keyboard, then we can work on fixing GNOME.

Are you proposing that we should file bugs against console-setup, all display managers, and all other desktop environments, to assume a default toggling switch, because we can't fix GNOME?

In which direction should I be trying to resolve this?
