I test the Newt-based Debian 10 installer via QEMU. When I select
English language with Arabic keymap, I can choose a key combination
for switching the layout, Alt+Shift by default. But I cannot choose
between AZERTY and QWERTY, I always get QWERTY.
Searching the Web for the displayed string for choosing the layout
reveals it is part of console-setup and contained in
$(guix build -S console-setup)/debian/keyboard-configuration.templates
I find command suggestions like
ckbcomp -layout cs,cs -variant latin, -option
grp:rwin_toggle,lv3:ralt_switch,grp_led:scroll
as given in <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=513269>.

Florian
