I added a workaround to the description to prevent the complete failure
at the end.
** Description changed:
As best as I can tell, if anything other than a US keyboard layout is
selected from the boot menu, ubi-console-setup will crash prior to the
keyboard configuration. The dialogue displayed says:
ubi-console-setup failed with exit code 2. Further information maybe
found in /var/log/syslog.
- There are the relevant lins from /var/log/syslog:

The dialogue has 3 buttons, Quit, Continue Anyway and Try Again. If you
choose Try Again it is possible to complete the install. If you choose
Continue Anyway the installer will progress and eventually crash
- completely as which point apport was able to havest the attached logs.

+ WORKAROUND: After you see the "ubi-console-setup crashed" dialog, open a
terminal and do
+
+ sudo rm /etc/default/keyboard
+ sudo mv /etc/default/keyboard.pre-ubiquity /etc/default/keyboard
+
+ then click "Continue anyway" in the dialog. This should prevent the
