I'd even say, one language/country, one layout. Note for instance
french, for which there are a lot of layouts, from BE, CA, CH, FR,
... But there is little chance getting wrong when taking the country
into account too.  That's why I proposed to first have a list for each
country/language pair. Then a list for each language can be used if the
user is not happy with the former.

No need to do it by hand, it can be automated from xkeyboard-config's
data.  Any divergence from a hand-written version is just a bug in
xkeyboard-config.

Why a dedicated list?
