Yes, your Debian specific stuff in
debian/patches/debian/Use-Debian-specific-config-files.patch only seems
to set /etc/default/keyboard
However with other Linux distributions the setting is also instantly
applied to console, so that is what me and other users are expecting.
With other Linux distributions this seems to be done by restarting the
systemd-vconsole-setup unit in src/local/localed.c vconsole_reload() :
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/main/src/locale/localed.c#L97
Think that function needs to be patched by whatever is necessary to have
the change do take effect on Debian (run "dpkg-reconfigure
keyboard-configuration" and "setupcon -k --force" ?)
Yours sincerely,
