Public bug reported:

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)
