Thanks a lot for tracking this one down -- we'll include the fix (likely
having "fr_BE*" map to LAYOUT="be") in xfree86 4.3.0.dfsg.1-6ubuntu19.

I now looked and here is the problem. Belgium has three official
languages: Dutch, French and German. Dutch and French-speaking people
(99% of the population) use the belgian layout; the small number of
German-speaking people use the german layout.

Keyboard selection has been hacked into xserver-xfree86.config and
says:
case "$LANG" in
"de_BE@euro" ) LAYOUT="de" XKBOPTIONS="" ;;
"fr_BE@euro" ) LAYOUT="be" XKBOPTIONS="" ;;
"nl_BE@euro" ) LAYOUT="be" XKBOPTIONS="" ;;
*"BE"* ) LAYOUT="de" XKBOPTIONS="" ;;

But $LANG is set to fr_BE, not fr_BE@euro.
