Hi, I finally found the source of the problem, it was ibus. Apparently it changed the keyboard layout, after the i3 started. Once I got rid of it, keyboard layout started to work as expected.
Although, I would be nice, if the conflict between the /etc/default/keyboard and ibus was somehow resolved.
