In 16.04, "LightDM GTK+ Greeter settings" has "Keyboard layout" as an
unused item in in Panel settings. If you add it, the right layout will
probably be set by default, and it can be altered by user. This should
be used by default.

Title:
  Let user choose keyboard layout in login screen

Status in lightdm-gtk-greeter package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This option is good to have, since a keyboard could be operating by
  wrong layout by default, see e.g. Bug #995715 and
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49950 concerning Logitech
  Unifying Receiver, making it impossible to type password in some cases
  by such input devices.

  The layout setting would affect to a possible onscreen keyboard, too.

  Currently system seems to try to detect natural keyboard layout, when
  using a keyboard, but this does not currently work with all keyboards,
  and it is hard to know, which is user's preferred keyboard for the
  onscreen keyboard.
