I had a look at the problem more closely and found out that the
culprint is config in xserver-xorg.

At first, it correctly imports preseeded settings from localechooser
(mere cloning debconf variables xserver-xfree86/... to
xserver-xorg/...), but then unconditionaly overwrites
xserver-xorg/config/inputdevice/keyboard/options with some value
constructed in the config script. (Already filled #333960 against
xserver-xorg.)

This has impact on all languages relying on XkbOptions in
localization-config.
