Hello Yves-Alexis,
Sorry for the delay I've been away from my desktop for a while. Yep on second thought I agree this may well belong in x11 instead of lightdm. I've only faced this issue with lightdm, however I haven't tried another display manager with Jessie yet (My laptop is running gdm and doesn't have the issue but it still runs wheezy, so probably we can't draw any conclusions from that). Can you tell what you think of the logs below ?
Looking at Xorg.0.log it shows the following (only pasting what looked relevant here):

I'm not sure I get everything (and especially not why my keyboard seems to get configured twice), however it does seem to be applying "fr" layout. Now I also had a look into /var/log/lightdm and I may have found a few interesting lines.
In /var/log/lightdm/x-0-greeter.log:

Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server

Hope this helps. Do you think this bug should be redirected to X11 ?
Cheers

In any case I think something wrong is going on as lightdm should probably use system settings by default.

That's perfectly unrelated to LightDM, actually, I think. At least the
keymap is set by X11 at startup, and nowadays it uses the system wide
settings. And it works just fine for me on every box I tried, so you'll
need to provide more information. Start by looking at the Xorg.0.log
file.
