The "strange" layout is named "English (UK)" and is the basic layout
in the gb symbols file. I'd be surprised if that's not the one which
shows up in the installer as default if you select a UK location for
the time zone settings. I don't think it has anything to do with which
language you select.
Basically this one?

Ok... well, not ok (I don't get it why the Extended versions of en-GB
and en-US aren't used by default more) but at least I understand why
it's there now, thanks.
No, that's not what I suggested. Assuming that there doesn't exist any
special Scottish Gaelic physical keyboards, and since you still want
to use an already existing layout, it wouldn't make much sense, and I
have a feeling they wouldn't approve it.
My idea was to add a variant, which would be identical with the layout
you consider most suitable, but with another name. That way the
Scottish Gaelic users would get a hint in the installer, even if the
variant wouldn't be selected by default. However, I can't tell if they
would accept that either. (They are currently aiming to reduce the
number of layout options.)
Ok I think we both mean the same thing. While there are no special hard
keyboards, we could do with a layout based on en-GB Extended that has
some extras, like the Gaelic ampersand (⁊).
That's about how the installer works. I'm not sure, but my belief is
that the installer isn't sophisticated enough to do that without
pretty extensive changes. Again: The keyboard layout it suggests
depends on the time zone location, not the selected display language.
Ok, so it's a bit suck-it-and-see, but it's not inconceivable that a
layout specifically for gd-GB should get bumped up in the list if
someone switches the UI to gd-GB.
Thanks for all the explanations, finally get the feeling we might get
somewhere with the keyboard issue on Linux :)
