Looked at it further.
Basically gnome-shell is overriding ubiquity's changes when ubuntu-
drivers installs silently oem drivers on VMware products env ( or
Virtualbox with default/recommended VMSVGA controller), namely open-vm-
tools package.
udevadm trigger is executed and as a result Xorg and gnome-shell re-read
their config including keyboard layouts. gnome-shell overrides changes
made by Xorg which uses /etc/default/keyboard ( written/updated by
ubiaquity) settings.
It doesn't seem possible to stop gnome-shell updating xkb layouts.
A possible solution would be to make sure the gnome-session behind ubiquity
also uses the same keyboard layout ( which makes sense during a direct ubuntu
install).
Something like that :
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources "[('xkb', 'fr')]"
