according to:
http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx-kbd-mouse-x11/tree/lib/keyboard.pm#n56 :

> 'en_NZ' => 'us:80 us3:70 us_intl:50 gb:40 dvorak:10 dvorak_gb:5',

there are 6 different keyboard layouts.

Please attach report.bug.xz from each install.

I think en_US was involuntarily added as additional language in the install that has the additional keyboard, because the en_US keyboards are all also en_NZ keyboards, except for the Mac, which isn't in en_NZ:

> 'en_US' => 'us:89 us3:80 us_intl:50 dvorak:10 us_mac:5',

In this screen http://doc.mageia.org/installer/5/en/content/selectLanguage.html _without_ clicking on the "Multiple languages" button?
