>From the logs it seems that even if the locale is set to a non-english language, the config variable xkb-keymap introduced in 17.10 is set to 'us' and Ubiquity uses this value to update the UI.

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).
