They are made according to the de-facto standard which is shown at the site: http://www.hum.uit.no/a/trond/se-lat9-no-keys.html (this is for use in Norway) and http://www.hum.uit.no/a/trond/se-lat9-sefi-keys.html (for use in Finland and Sweden). These are also the standard keyboard layouts for all versions of windows (AFAIK).
I'm part of skolelinux [1][2], which is an effort to make a Debian based Linux distribution adapted for use in primary school in Norway. I haven't cared to update the keyboard layouts yet, because the X Windows System would be (as far as I am aware of) the only system which will have the new layouts, and I'm afraid it would confuse children (and parents) who are used to the de-facto standard. That said, I'd be happy to implement the new standard if the Sami parliamentary council wants me to do it.
