Just tested some other languages: exactly the same error happens when I
select Deutsch, Francais, Espanol or Italiano. They all present English
(US) as default preselected keyboard layout.

@Sebastien Bacher: have you already tested it with a UEFI machine
running in full UEFI mode, on the bare metal (not in VirtualBox)?

Title:
  ubiquity doesn't preselect the right default keyboard layout

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu, Xubuntu and Lubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, daily builds of
  March 25, the right default keymap isn't preselected when you select
  "Nederlands" (i.e. Dutch) as language for the installation.

  It's now "English, US" but should be:
  "English (US) - English (US, intl., with dead keys)".

  Or, in other words, it should be:
  XKBLAYOUT="us"
  XKBVARIANT="intl"

  (additional remark in order to prevent any misunderstandings: the
  original Dutch keyboard (nl) has completely disappeared long ago, so
  all keyboards sold in the Netherlands have US keyboards which need the
  "intl" xkbvariant with dead keys, in order to be able to type accents)

  This is a regression, at least compared with Ubuntu 16.04 and earlier
  (I don't know about 16.10, 17.04 and 17.10).
