The wiki does mention that the "repos.conf" method requires a version of layman greater than 2.0.0. Try the old method on the wiki to configure layman .... or use a "package.accept_keyword" to raise the version of layman installed. I have used the "repos.conf" method, with "package.accept_keyword" ~amd64, and have no problems with the overlays. ( layman version 2.4.1 installed ) Hope this helps.
