But here, I don't understand what matching with xkb data you mean? I have the following questions: 1. Is there a packaged Debian kernel with this functionality I can use? 2. Suppose the new keyboard layout requires a trigger different from kbd-ctrlllock (because the user used KMAP in /etc/default/keyboard or installed console-setup-mini). I can echo the new trigger for the existing keyboards, but what about the udev rules? Can they change on the fly? Or maybe there is some way not to hardcode the trigger in the udev rule but read it from a separate file each time the rule activates? BTW, at the moment I think it will be best if I write a script kbd_leds and propose it for inclusion in the console utilities package 'kbd'. Definitely, this is a functionality useful not only for console-setup users. Then console-setup will be able to use the combination kbd_mode+loadkeys+kbd_leds in order to configure the keyboard.
