[Bug 2030788] Re: "localectl set-x11-keymap" doesn't work in mantic

[Chad Smith]

Yes, Dave and thank you!

We'll sort with Foundations review whether there are usability
improvements warranted for how localectl now behaves, this may be
something that is taken upstream in debian to improve this "magic"
behavior of symlinking /etc/vconsole.conf -> /etc/default/keyboard and
things "just working".

Title:
  "localectl set-x11-keymap" doesn't work in mantic

Status in cloud-init package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On the raspi arm64 server image, I used to use cloud-init's keyboard
  module to set my keyboard to GB by default. However, on mantic
  localectl (which the keyboard module uses) is now reporting:

    $ localectl set-x11-keymap gb pc105
    Setting X11 and console keymaps is not supported in Debian

  So ... how do I get my £ key by default now? Or should this be filed
  against systemd as well?
