But the problem is that it shouldn't be needed, because xkb-keymap
provides a value for layout and sets it as seen.

And it is indeed not needed for me in my tests. What I'm doing is
booting with the following parameter given on the kernel command line:

keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap=de

I never get asked for the variant. Could you perhaps post your whole
preseed file (with passwords replaced with foobar), so I can test with
exactly the same parameters?
