Let me try to explain in another way.
Issue:
The keyboard configuration module of the gnome-control-center is totally ignore
keyboard layout rules which are placed in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.extras.xml.
Consequences:
All keyboard layouts from "extra" section of xkb-data are not available for use.
Solutions:
1. Make gnome-control-center to read rules from
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.extras.xml by default.
or
2. Create an option (Check Box) in gnome-control-center that enable extra
keyboard layouts.

Title:
Option to enable extra keyboard layout is lost
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
There no any way to make extra keyboard layout to be accessible/visible in
keyboard layout choice dialog. So it is impossible to use Unity keyboard
configuration tool to set an extra keyboard layout (such as Iran: Avestan;
Lithuania: Dvorak; USA: International (AltGr Unicode combining|alternative),
Atsina, Couer D'alene Salish; Romania: Ergonomic Touchtype; Serbia: Combining
accents instead of dead keys; Russia: Church Slavonic, RUU; etc.).
KDE4 loads these layouts without any user actions.
GNOME2 makes these layouts visible in keyboard setting dialog through
enabling "load-extra-items" option.
But Unity can't do this in any way. (furthermore, as ~/.Xkbmap settings
ignoring or overriding by DE, it is impossible to set extra keyboard layout at
all without making startup script)
