Can't change to special keyboard layout on Debian
I'm aware of the mass of questions of answers regarding changing the keyboard layout on Linux and specifically Debian-based systems. Sadly, all these don't help, because I am not trying to change the language of the keyboard layout, but try to choose a specific variant of the language layout I am using.
What I want:
I want to be able to use the layout
pc / qwertz / German / Standard / Programmer
What I am doing:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data
select keymap from full arch-list
select pc / qwertz / German / Standard / Programmer
What happens:
Nothing. System stays with generic de keymap.
The problem now is that no setxkbmap or loadkeys or keyboard-configuration or console-setup or anything like that helps me, because they only offer the generic de keymap I already use. I want the German Programmer keyboard layout, nothing else.
