I used a slightly different test to verify that the keyboard was
correctly configured, and it looks like it is:
keyboard-configuration/layoutcode=es (on the command-line) appears to
correctly set the keyboard to the es locale.
I'm not familiar enough with all keyboards to know how to properly test
them (I mean, hitting a key and verifying that it does the right thing).
Could you give me an example for the german and finnish keyboard of some
key combination that should write a special character, so I can test
them?
Also, have you tried setting the keyboard-configuration/layoutcode value
on the command-line? If so, does it make a difference? If it does, this
may mean that instead the bug lies in preseed or something specific to
the way the keyboard configuration is preseeded.
Thanks!

keyboard layout:
d-i console-setup/ask_detect false
d-i keyboard-configuration/layoutcode string de
d-i keyboard-configuration/layout select German
d-i keyboard-configuration/modelcode string pc105
System comes up with US keyboard only (see screenshot).

The same preseed file works on wily and successfully configures a
German keyboard layout.
The full preseed file can be found at
https://github.com/jschule/ubuntu/blob/gh-pages/preseed/jts.txt
Please advice how to set German keyboard layout with preseed
installation.
