Hi Gunnar, thank you for your input,

> Why is there a need to switch keyboard layout during the installation?

One example is to set the user name, e.g. Διαχειριστής (Administrator).
Another is to be able to surf etc while ubiquity is running in the background.

> As regards post-install, i.e. at first boot/login, the desktop
environment ought to provide some default shortcut for switching input
sources.

By with package? Xorg by itself supports Alt+Shift, and this worked fine
up to 18.04.1, while it broke in 18.04.2, is "plain xkb" now
unsupported? By default, MATE doesn't ship ibus or fcitx, isn't that OK?
I haven't tested in other flavors yet..

`setxkbmap -query` shows the wrong settings now; if one runs `dpkg-
reconfigure keyboard-configuration` after installation, then it works
fine again.
