Adding this to help people in this case...
Keyboard layout is not lightdm problem, but evdev does not set
/etc/defaults/keyboard values (perhaps due to xorg downgrading). setting
these values in 10-evdev.conf file as below, solves this problem.
modification in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf :
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
MatchIsKeyboard "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
# keyboard is not set to french
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
Option "XkbVariant" "oss"
EndSection
