Title:
  changes in /etc/default/keyboard not loaded

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Description:	Ubuntu 15.04
  Release:	15.04
  Variant:        Xubuntu

  What you expected to happen:
  Changes in /etc/default/keyboard to be effective.

  What happened instead:
  Nothing.

  ex: 
   
  File : /etc/default/keyboard                        

  # KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

  # Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

  XKBMODEL="pc105"
  XKBLAYOUT="fr"
  XKBVARIANT="latin9"
  XKBOPTIONS="altwin:ctrl_alt_win"

  BACKSPACE="guess"

  
  Nothing happens after boot.

  (but setxkbmap -option alt win:ctrl_alt_win does works)

  Suggestion : 
  -Remove /etc/default/keyboard as it doesn't seems to serve any purpose other than misleading people.
  -Make somehow working as it should.
