I took a swing at this a while ago. The problem is that a setxkbmap run
in the installer prompt doesn't actually manage to carry over to the
desktop session. The keyboard layout ends up on `us` anyway. I suspect
something in both LXQt and Plasma (both of which have this issue) is
resetting the keyboard layout to the one configured in the DE (which is
the normal and right thing to do but quite annoying at the same time). I
could be wrong about the underlying cause, but those are the symptoms.

I think this will require doing something to reconfigure the target DE
so *it* sets the keyboard layout right. If so, this will likely require
separate solutions for Lubuntu and Kubuntu. (Ubuntu Unity doesn't have
an installer prompt and so doesn't need any action here.)
