Bug Description

Please add the newest layout of the German Neo keyboard layout family. Noted is a layout designed to make typing as comfortable and efficient as possible in both German and English. It was developed with the help of a layout optimizer, which is based on the metrics and concepts of ArneBab's optimizer and adapts and extends them.

I switched from Neo 2 via Mine to Noted and I like to see this variant to be available out of the box in Ubuntu.

Here is the debdiff. I tested this change and the layout on noble (via https://launchpad.net/~bdrung/+archive/ubuntu/staging). This feature should have a low regression risk since it just add a new keyboard layout. This layout is added to the "exotic" list.

summary: - Please add German (Noted) layout

Since this only adds a keyboard layout and doesn't change defaults, this should be fine.
FFe granted, please go ahead. Hopefully this is included upstream in future.
