Sebastien Bacher: what happened on your system is the right result, but
that's not what happens on my machine.... Still not, when I use the
latest daily Ubuntu iso (timestamped 20180-04-03 07:03).

It's a test machine with UEFI running in full UEFI mode, which might
account for the difference with the result from your test. My approach
is straightforward:

- I boot my laptop from the iso.
- it shows only the normal Grub-like "terminal" lines, no GUI, with "Try Ubuntu 
without installing" as first line of the four. Which is normal for UEFI.
- I select the first line
- after the desktop appears, I establish Wifi connection
- I start Ubiquity
- In the welcome screen of Ubiquity, I select "Nederlands"
- I click the button "Verder" (Continue)
- I'm being presented with the wrong preselected "Engels (VS)" keyboard layout, 
like I described in the opening message in this thread.

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).
