This is also valid under Natty.

During the installation process of Natty, keyboard disposition selection
comes after the partitioning step, possibly leaving the user with an
unusable international keyboard.

This is even more of a problem for a regular user with no to little system's 
knowledge.
Even after the location as been chosen (Montréal for me) and the install 
language being French, the default keyboard disposition selected is France 
which is plain wrong. If a user goes for automated partitioning, doesn't pay 
attention to the wrong default keyboard disposition and then enters a password 
(blindly), this user will after installation be left with an usable system 
since he won't be able to log into the system as the password after reboot will 
be typed on a Canadian keyboard disposition, whenever the password has been set 
on a French keyboard disposition.
