Hmm I don’t know what to think.  Could you confirm that keyboard
switching works if you revert d904abe0768293b2322dbf355b6e41d94e769d78?

To anyone reading this: could you please give it a try and report back?
You can run the image in a VM from current master:

  ./pre-inst-env guix system vm gnu/system/install.scm

or better yet, build the ISO, copy it to USB, and boot it on bare metal:

  ./pre-inst-env guix system image -t iso9660 gnu/system/install.scm

Thanks,
Ludo’.
