Adding this to help people in this case...

Keyboard layout is not lightdm problem, but evdev does not set
/etc/defaults/keyboard values (perhaps due to xorg downgrading). setting
these values in 10-evdev.conf file as below, solves this problem.

modification in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf :
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
	# keyboard is not set to french 
	Option "XkbModel"    "pc105"
	Option "XkbLayout"   "fr"
	Option "XkbVariant"  "oss"
EndSection
