Right. There should be no interaction needed in the PKGBUILD.
Interactive parts in post_install are very unusual, and will fail
in some situations. The best way would be to output a piece of
information in post_install that empowers the user to switch the layout
by hand.

If geometria has interaction in build() it is definitely broken.
