So, the installation language was English, and the US keyboard layout was
suggested accordingly and not changed, so the system was installed with the US
keyboard layout.

But the 'kbd-2.4.0' package was installed (and kbd-legacy as well), so the
infrastructure for a different keyboard layout was there.
