Re-naming the thread, sorry for the hijack.
I wasn't aware that the order of keyboards is not locale dependent but
general. My assumption was that the strange IBM 166 layout only appeared
because I'd set the locale of my Ubuntu to gd-GB. I don't think IBM 166
makes an appearance if I do a clean install of en-GB or en-US. I had a
look but I've already set mine to en-GB Extended so I'm not sure what
the default is that comes up for en-US or en-GB.
I'm not averse to taking, basically, en-GB and submitting it under a
different name... that would have been the helpful thing to point out by
Sergey. So is this what you were suggesting? Rather than trying to
change the order of current keyboards, to create a "new one" (however
much based on an existing locale) and submit it? The bit I'm still hazy
about is how to make sure that this ends up being the default keyboard
when someone switches their installation from en-US to gd-GB. Who
controls that default spot?

I think that has nothing to do with poor responsiveness or rudeness.
The order of the entries in the gb symbols file isn't what's
controlling the order in which the entries appear in the installer or
in Text Entry. (And even if it did, changing the gb file to fit
Scottish Gaelic users at the expense of English speaking users
wouldn't make sense.)
Creating a variant with "Scottish Gaelic" in the name, and which loads
the most suitable variant for Scottish Gaelic users, might be a step
in the right direction.
OTOH, that might lead to a similar reaction as I got when adding a
layout for a minority language in Sweden, i.e. put away to "extras".

And if so, the additional variant wouldn't make things easier...
