Bug #834487 allows to workarround the bug and for me the problem is not
in lightdm package : layout is wrong under X without dm (gdm lightdm or
other).

evdev does not use values set in  /etc/defaults/keyboard

Setting these values in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf as
below, solves this problem.

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

Title:
  QWERTY keyboard for the password during the greeter

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

  I have French keyboard (AZERTY).

  During the session, there is no problem: the behaviour of my keyboard

  my password) except during the password typed greeter (QWERTY
  keyboard, i think).
