The /etc/default/keyboard file sets the console as well, so you can try rebooting and choose to go into single user mode (recovery mode). That way you can see if something at a higher runlevel (in gnome or similar) is overriding it or if it not applying in the first place. Another test would be to reboot and before running "setxkbmap ch" run "setxkbmap -query", which will print the current setup. If it is ok at first, but gets overridden, we will have to track down what is changing it. If it is not setting it correctly in the first place, we need to figure out why.
