Bug Description

I'm going round the houses with this one :) The l10n mailing list first pointed me at freedesktop.org where I filed a bug which was shot down (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64478) - not that I understood all of the explanation but apparently it's the wrong place to change the default keyboard layout for a locale.

The request and reason for it is as follows:

I would like to request changing the default keyboard layout for Scottish Gaelic (gd) which is set during first installation of Ubuntu. Currently the top layout is IBM 166 which is neither known in the community nor practical. The layout of choice is "English United Kingdom Extended" as it requires the least amount of instruction and otherwise does not differ from en-GB which is the most widely used layout in the Gaelic community currently.

The impact should be low as there is a tiny number of users currently but we're currently conducting a major clean-up of the Ubuntu localization (incl. faulty locale data) and hope to grow usage but the current default layout is a real show stopper.
