Yeah, I think it would be good to either store the xkb stuff directly in /etc/vconsole.conf, and make everything that needs xkb defaults to read it from there, or introduce a new /etc/xkb.conf or so, and make localed write that. I am pretty sure this would also help David with systemd-consoled, as well as the wayland people, since they have zero interest in X11 config snippets. I kinda was hoping David would comment on this too. David? Peter? Comments?
