"Then why not inform users which entry is most common and pre-select it
in the list"

It already does:
http://people.canonical.com/~evand/screenshots/ubiquity/1.12.3/3-keyboard.png

1) it shows deprecated or totally strange layouts that no one uses

I disagree.  People cite some real figures rather than making blanket
assertions.

2) it doesn't say which one is the normal choice

As I stated above, it does.  This is the "suggested option."

3) it does not preselect based on choosed language/timezone

It does.

I went through an install using the 20090917.1 daily live CD
(http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/) and selecting Polish for the
language and Poland for the time zone provided me with a default
keyboard selection of "Poland", which is a qwerty layout.

I'm marking this bug invalid, but please feel free to reopen it if you
can show me a screenshot of it conflicting with the points I've raised.
If you do reopen the bug and provide a screenshot, please also run the
installer in debug mode (`ubiquity -d` in a terminal window), and attach
/var/log/syslog and /var/log/installer/debug to this report.

Thanks!

Ubuntu installation asks stupid questions confusing new users. Like Dvorak.
