system-config-keyboard should do this:

      1. Get the old settings: cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
      2. Set the new settings: su -c 'localectl set-x11-keymap <layout>
         [<model>] [<variant>] [<options>]'
      3. Remove the old configuration file: su -c
         'rm /etc/sysconfig/keyboard'

or at least warning that we should do something new like this .

already attempts to do some kind of automatic conversion.  If that is
insufficient, please file bugs against systemd.

It seems that the virtual console layout is migrated ok, but the x11 part is not. This is what I get on my two upgraded F18 boxes:

[root@turre ~]# localectl
   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: fi
      X11 Layout: n/a
[root@turre ~]#

The "n/a" part is the "problem" as it falls back to US keyboard. localectl manual says both set-keymap and set-x11-keymap apply to both the keymaps unless --no-convert is specified, but that doesn't seem to happen in practise:

[root@turre ~]# localectl set-keymap fi
[root@turre ~]# localectl
   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: fi
      X11 Layout: n/a
[root@turre ~]# localectl set-x11-keymap fi
[root@turre ~]# localectl
   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: fi-latin1
      X11 Layout: fi
[root@turre ~]# localectl set-keymap fi
[root@turre ~]# localectl
   System Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
       VC Keymap: fi
      X11 Layout: fi
       X11 Model: pc105
     X11 Options: terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

It's a bit bizarre: set-keymap doesn't seem to find "fi" as the closest matching keyboard for x11 (it probably should), set-x11-keymap considers "fi-latin1" to be the closest matching keymap for "fi", but in this specific order its possible to get both set to "fi". Only it now adds additional model + options there, whatever the reason.
