I think that different keyboard layouts it's even more important than
different languages...

Do we have any plan? Maybe I will take a look (but during 20 days in
october I will not have lot of time :-( so not sure if I will do it

Any suggestion for the implementation? How user would change the
keyboard layout? Or maybe at beginning some setting (variable) at
grub.cfg?
