Just like we had for the many request for some "non standard" keymaps
which we had in the past, I'll make the same answer : adding more
keymapsto the installer has a cost, in memory and complexity. We
deliberately chose several years ago to not make things too
complicated for users : for instance, for each language we usually
offer one option, usually the most widespread one in the countries
that use this language.

The overall rationale is that users of less common keymaps will always
have the opportunity to reconfigure console-setup on the installed system.
