Is the correct keymap configured in /etc/vconsole.conf ?

My RPi's don't have this file but my Debian laptop does. It is
apparently a systemd method of setting the keymapping. See
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Linux_console/Keyboard_configuration#Persistent_configuration

That same page also suggests you can use: loadkeys <keymap>
If /etc/vconsole.conf is present and correct, then you could try
running loadkeys in rc.local - it is possible that you have an ordering
issue in systemd...

Cheers,
Andrew
