Thanks for this insight! Based on the original post, it seems to me that we SHOULD retain ibus-m17n for Sinhala. Is this table in gnome-settings-daemon what ensures that it's retained? It's unclear to me how that works, gnome-settings-daemon is not what drives the installation and there are no references to 'm17n' in the ubiquity source.
I think it is, without being able to point at the relevant code. At least it works like that with the CJK languages, and it ought to work in the same way with input languages supported by ibus-m17n.
I've filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1943768 for gsd and am uploading, since it seems obvious to me based on this thread that we should be defaulting to the national keyboard standard rather than the "Sinhala (US, with Sinhala letters)" layout from xkb-data that doesn't even use the native characters.
Great; sounds right to me. I'll follow up that it works as intended once it makes it to the daily build ISO.
