Well, that's simply a fact that the console keymaps are much fewer than the X keymaps, but that's not really an issue of localed/systemd, but rather a general shortcoming of the classic console keymap system.

"localectl list-keymaps" shows all files below /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps btw, that's all it does...
