For the Cyrillic languages it was asked by console-cyrillic. And for
the other non-Latin languages, well, they simply didn't have good

This code was irrelevant, again because of console-cyrillic. Most of
the people are using the other layout and both layouts are as different
one from another as qwerty and dvorak (people using one of them are
unable to use the other).

People will be unable to preseed values that are not supported by the
short list. But I agree, if this question is used only by the udeb and
not by the main package, then it is only a wishlist to support
non-standard layouts.
