I have started to experience this bug after upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04. Whenever I remove my external keyboard and plug it back in, the external keyboard's layout switches to US English instead of whatever it was set to. The laptop's built-in keyboard layout remains correct.
I did not notice any warnings in my logs. If you need more information / debug output, I'd be glad to help.

The default and any alternative layout should user configurable, i.e. it should not restore system default values when an USB keyboard is attached. 4) When I plug in an USB keyboard after logging in to Ubuntu, it resets the keyboard layout (and probably other keyboard settings as well) to the system default layout which is stored in /etc/default/console-setup.
