It seems related to X or udev since the upgrade, because gnome is well set and gives a french keyboard (macbook pro one), and for awesome, my main wm, i have to setxkbmap fr in ~/.xsession to get a french keyboard layout [...] I'm still trying to figure out how to get french back at dm greeter So most window managers and login managers don't get the keyboard right, however gnome does. The correct/wrong keyboard setup/information must come from *somewhere*, but from where? So one thing the OBR could do to figure out what's going on is to strace -f startx and the gnome startup, figure out which files are being accessed (only stat, open and mmap calls are of interest I guess) and then compare the produced lists. Otherwise, if nobody can figure out what's going on, or the OBR doesn't care any more either the OBR or the console-setup maintainers can decide to close the bug, since no way forward can be made unless there's more info.

Bugs which do not belong to console-setup
[I am not subscribed to debian-devel.] Hi! I have two bugs reported against console-setup about keybord not working properly under X Window. In both cases I have asked the reportes to provide the file /etc/default/keyboard and in both cases the file was correct. Therefore, the bugs are not related to console-setup in any way. Unfortunately X Window and the various desktop environments are something I don't understand well enough, so I have no idea where to reassign these bugs.

As a general rule (and without looking at those particular bug reports), back when I maintained X, I asked reporters to run a bare X session, meaning without a display manager and without a desktop session. gdm3 (or whatever component behind, handling settings) has been the culprit several times already, replacing the system settings with other settings based on user language. (See #590534 for an old example.) Comparing the output of setxkbmap -print from a bare X session and from $desktop_environment is usually a nice place to start from.
