control: tag confirmed

Hello,

It's easy to reproduce:

Install a Debian minimal (nothing select 'Choose software to install').

# apt-get install xorg
# apt-get install --no-install-recommends fonts-freefont-ttf lxde-core
lxde-icon-theme lxrandr lxterminal

# apt-get install --no-install-recommends lightdm accountsservice

# vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
---
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Layout"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "fr"
EndSection
---

--->
$ localectl status      
   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
                  LANGUAGE=en_US:en
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: fr
       X11 Model: pc105
     X11 Variant: latin9
--->

--->
$ cat /etc/default/keyboard
# KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE

# Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="fr"
XKBVARIANT="latin9"
XKBOPTIONS=""

BACKSPACE="guess"
--->

Restart

The keymap is still qwerty at lighdm login prompt.
