anaconda: keyboard layout selection - search for "belgian"

Description of problem:
In anaconda (for Fedora 18, final version), in the keyboard layout selection, there is no "Belgian" layout anymore.

Using the search field with the word "Belgian", there is only a "Dutch, Flemish (Belgian))" layout (see attachment).
This is a mistake because:
1) in Belgium Flemish and Walloon people share the same keyboard => no need to name it "Flemish (Belgian)" or "Walloon (Belgian)", just "Belgian" is easier for everyone
2) as Belgian, we are always used to look at "Belgian" keyboard (i.e. at the letter "B"): this is the case in Gnome, KDE, Windows, anaconda previous version, etc...: they all have a "Belgian" keyboard (and no Flemish or Walloon !)
3) for a Walloon, it is strange to have to choose for a "Flemish (Belgian)" keyboard ! It just raises unneeded questions like "is it appropriate for me ?" or "I didn't know there was a difference between Flemish and Walloon keyboard: but where is the Walloon layout then ??"


Expected results:
Just name it "Belgian", as it was before: it was easier for both Flemish and Walloon

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 10:36:08 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '18'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Nothing has changed since several years in the Fedora installer concerning this bug: the screenshot from comment #1 still applies :-(
