Can you specify what kind of remapping you are using?  Maybe it is 
supported by xkb?

XKB supports many options so in most case it should be possible to 
configure properly the keyboard without remapping.  In cases when this 
is not so I think it is better fill a wishlist bug report against 
xkb-data than to use remapping as a quick hack.  I can make the keyboard 
file for XKB if needed.

But to answer your question - yes, this is possible but I am reluctand 
to do so.  I've noticed that in many occasions dumpkeys doesn't work 
properly and I don't want to introduce in console-setup bugs that I will 
be unable to fix.
