On account of having run Debian a long time, I set up my keyboard
using dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration, so I have no
experience of running localectl. However, the man page says:
set-x11-keymap LAYOUT [MODEL [VARIANT [OPTIONS]]]
Set the system default keyboard mapping for X11 and the virtual
console. This takes a keyboard mapping name (such as "de" or
"us"), and possibly a model, variant, and options, see kbd(4) for
details. Unless --no-convert is passed, the selected setting is
also applied as the system console keyboard mapping, after
converting it to the closest matching console keyboard mapping.
So might it be worth trying:
localectl set-x11-keymap us pc105 altgr-intl

Could you post the contents of /etc/default/keyboard after
running each of the commands above. (It seems pointless for me to try
to see the effects, as I don't use a DE, DM or "greeter".)
