Package: systemd
Version: 215-17+deb8u4
Severity: important
[I filed this before, but I saw I set my E-Mail to avar@localhost, so
it was probably auto-rejected, can't find it in the BTS]
I'm not even sure if this is a systemd bug, especially given
#803970. If you know about something that automatically edits
/etc/vconsole.conf that isn't systemd please forward this report to
that package.
Occasionally when I update my packages my vconsole.conf will be
changed like this by some script:
$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf.diff
diff --git a/vconsole.conf b/vconsole.conf
index 6574753..422787e 100644
--- a/vconsole.conf
+++ b/vconsole.conf
@@ -1 +1 @@
-KEYMAP=dvorak
+KEYMAP=is-latin1
In my GNOME settings the only keymap I have configured is Icelandic
(Dvorak). I.e. is-dvorak.
So I have no idea where this is-latin1 thing is coming from,
presumably something looks at "is-dvorak", does s/-.*//, and just
picks the first one and munges the config file to.
There are two bugs here as far as I'm concerned:
1. That /etc/vconsole.conf is automatically edited without
asking. I'm pretty sure this violates §10.7.3
(https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.7.3),
see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=579752 for a
similar bug.
2. Whatever's doing the automatic editing is clearly buggy even if it
was a guided changed configuration, because it thinks the
Icelandic Dvorak layout is the same as Icelandic QWERTY.

Fwiw, /etc/vconsole.conf is not really used in Debian, we don't ship
systemd-vconsole which uses the information in there to setup the console.
So changes to that file don't have any effect really.

localed provides a D-Bus interface. I assume some component calls that
D-Bus interface. codesearch lists a few hits:
https://codesearch.debian.net/perpackage-results/org.freedesktop.locale1/2/page_0
Anyway, as I don't see a bug in systemd here, I'm going to close this
bug report.
