keyboard layout return back to US during the install process

[Jean-Do Veuve]

When installing the 21.04 version on an Oracle VirtualBox, you can choose the keyboard setting following your country.

What is expected: the chosen settings will remain during the whole install process.

What happened: At the moment you are entering the login_name and the login_password, the keyboard revert discreetly back to US layout and will once again revert to chosen country setting after the reboot.

Resulting problem: you will type the login/password with a different keyboard layout that the one you had when you entered it during the install process.

IMPORTANT: This is a regression as the exact same problem was already known with 20.04 and was solved. See : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1875062

I can confirm this for at least Ubuntu Desktop 20.04.3, too (VM or native hardware install doesn't matter).
