[Bug 2098474] Re: "localectl set-keymap" not working

[Nick Rosbrook]

I guess systemd-localed is only looking for things that end with `.map`
or `.map.gz`.

On newer releases of Ubuntu and Debian, we deny access to the DBus calls
behind set-keymap etc. because they do not work as intended on Debian
based systems. This is generally an upstream and Debian compatibility
question.

Because of that, I don't think there is anything we can do on Jammy, via
SRU. Sorry.

I think you want to look at
https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/en/man5/keyboard.5.html
instead.

  This is not a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2030788
  which is about the X11 keymap instead of the console keymap.
