SHARED KEYBOARD LAYOUT

In Debian the default keyboard layout is shared between the console
and X.  It is specified in /etc/default/keyboard.


USING DEBCONF FOR EASIER CONFIGURATION

While it will be safe to edit directly the configuration files
(/etc/default/keyboard and /etc/default/console-setup) perhaps it will
be easier to use

dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
dpkg-reconfigure console-setup

If your keyboard configuration is too complex, Debconf may refuse to
reconfigure it.  This doesn't mean this configuration is not supported
and can not be used on the console.  It only means you have to edit
the configuration files by hand.

Consult the manual pages keyboard(5), console-setup(5) and setupcon(1). 


DEBIAN PACKAGES 

keyboard-configuration
   This package creates and maintains the configuration file
   /etc/default/keyboard.

console-setup
   This package is responsible for the actual configuration of the
   console (font and keyboard).  It is responsible for the
   configuration file /etc/default/console-setup.

console-setup-mini
   This is a limited version of console-setup.  It doesn't create a file
   /etc/default/console-setup but it will use such a file if it exists.
   Notice that if /etc/default/console-setup doesn't exist, then no
   font will be loaded so some non-ASCII symbols will not display
   correctly.  However, Unicode/non-Unicode mode and the charmap will
   still be configured according to the current locale.
