Ahh yes, this was me forgetting to revert a few paths. Dexter moved
everything to /usr (which I support) but that requires a bigger change
overall for other parts of the system which we'll need to plan a bit
more holistically I think. It will come soon enough but I wanted to get
this merged version in sooner rather than later.

Interesting. Does this new setting survive a reboot? Does the new
mapping work at the system level (i.e. is the layout respected in GDM)?

Do you have a /etc/vconsole.conf file?
