`localectl status` will report the correct output as long as the symlink from `/etc/vconsole.conf` to `/etc/default/keyboard` is setup correctly; this is configured by /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/debian.conf. What is the status of systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service on your system?

E.g., on a fresh mantic container I see:

root@mantic:~# systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service --no-pager
