Public bug reported:

Using network booted preseed with the following lines to configure
keyboard layout:

d-i console-setup/ask_detect false
d-i keyboard-configuration/layoutcode string de
d-i keyboard-configuration/layout select German
d-i keyboard-configuration/modelcode string pc105

System comes up with US keyboard only (see screenshot).

Content of /etc/default/keyboard:
XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT=""
XKBVARIANT=""
XKBOPTIONS=""
BACKSPACE="guess"

Content of /etc/default/console-setup:
ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]"
CHARMAP="UTF-8"
CODESET="guess"
FONTFACE="Fixed"
FONTSIZE="8x16"
VIDEOMODE=

The same preseed file works on wily and successfully configures a German
keyboard layout.

The full preseed file can be found at
https://github.com/jschule/ubuntu/blob/gh-pages/preseed/jts.txt

Please advice how to set German keyboard layout with preseed
installation.
