Hello Yves-Alexis,
Sorry for the delay I've been away from my desktop for a while. Yep on second
thought I agree this may well belong in x11 instead of lightdm. I've only faced
this issue with lightdm, however I haven't tried another display manager with
Jessie yet (My laptop is running gdm and doesn't have the issue but it still
runs wheezy, so probably we can't draw any conclusions from that). Can you tell
what you think of the logs below ?
Looking at Xorg.0.log it shows the following (only pasting what looked relevant
here):

I'm not sure I get everything (and especially not why my keyboard seems to get
configured twice), however it does seem to be applying "fr" layout. Now I also
had a look into /var/log/lightdm and I may have found a few interesting lines.
